Timeline and Process
1
Due Diligence Phase
The Maltese authorities will carry out a comprehensive due diligence check on all the applicants. The due diligence process is conducted by several law enforcement agencies and due diligence firms.
2
Approval in Principle
Providing the applicants pass the due diligence checks, the Maltese authorities will approve the application.
The outstanding payment for the government contribution will be required at this stage. The main applicant will need to rent a residential property which has a minimum annual rent of €14,000 for a five year period from the date residency is acquired.
Alternatively, a main applicant can invest €375,000 in Maltese residential real estate.
3
Final Compliance
The Maltese authorities will issue all residency documents once all applicants fulfil the requirements of the residency programme.
