MPRP

The Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP) is a residence route administered by Residency Malta Agency. It grants permanent residence to an applicant who satisfies a property condition and a set of statutory fees at the same time. What separates the MPRP from most investment residence routes in Europe is that it does not rest on an investment expected to return anything. The applicant holds a property in Malta or Gozo, by purchase or by lease, and separately pays an administrative fee, a contribution to the Government and a donation to a registered Maltese charity. The property obligation does not end on approval: After five years, the holder must still maintain a residential property in Malta. The property thresholds, each of the fees and the status of every option are kept on the MPRP programme page under Programmes, together with the date each figure was last checked and the source it came from. This page does not repeat those figures, because they change and only one place is updated. The legal framework is published by Residency Malta Agency at residencymalta.gov.mt. The Legation Times articles on the programme are listed below. The full catalogue of residence and citizenship routes is under Programmes.
