Malta Individual Investor Programme




The Malta Individual Investor Programme (MIIP) was launched in 2014 following the amendment of Chapter 188 of the Citizenship Act.


The amendment led to the enactment of LN 47 of 2014, which established the MIIP. Under the program, wealthy foreign individuals who make economic contributions and investments in the country can obtain citizenship.

Actual residence requirement



The oath of allegiance and issuance of the naturalization certificate will be completed one year after the date of genuine links with Malta. This requirement is the basis for the European Commission’s approval of the Malta Investor Individual Program.



To prove a genuine connection, one needs to reside in Malta for one year and provide evidence of the connection, such as business activities, club memberships, professional associations, sponsorship or local philanthropy. The residency requirement is only mandatory for the main applicant.


To become a Maltese resident, the applicant should apply for an electronic residence card, which will entitle the applicant to establish residence status in Malta and travel freely within the Schengen area. This step is mandatory in the IIP application process.



Electronic Residence Permit Requirements:


  • Travel to Malta to apply for the card and submit your biometric data.

  • Proof of economic self-sufficiency.

  • Proof of worldwide health insurance.

  • Residential address in Malta.

  • Pay €5,000 (plus €1,000 administrative costs per dependant) on account from the €10,000 non-refundable deposit on contributions to the National Development and Social Fund.
