Malta Immigration | News Flash
Fee Adjustments
• Main Applicant: The government application fee has increased from EUR 50,000 to EUR 60,000 (EUR 15,000 payable upon submission + EUR 45,000 payable after approval in principle)
• Adult Dependent Applicant: The government application fee has decreased from EUR 10,000 per person to EUR 7,500 per person
• Fee for each additional dependent added after the issuance of the permanent residence certificate: EUR 7,500
• Unified government contribution for property rental or purchase: EUR 37,000
New 1-Year Temporary Residence Permit
The new regulations stipulate that after passing the background check, applicants will be eligible to obtain a one-year temporary residence permit, allowing them to enter residence status in advance. The specific requirements are as follows:
• After obtaining the temporary residence permit, the applicant must submit all required documents within 6 months;
• If the applicant successfully receives approval in principle and completes all compliance obligations, the temporary permit will automatically convert to permanent residence;
• If the application is rejected, the temporary permit will be automatically revoked within 15 days after the rejection notice is issued.
This is undoubtedly a major optimization of the application process. For applicants who wish to enter Malta as soon as possible to conduct business or arrange for their children's education, this reform provides a valuable opportunity to "get a head start."
Relaxed Accompanying Standards
Parents/grandparents of the main applicant and spouse who are not in full-time employment may accompany the application (proof of financial dependency is still required)
Upgraded Property Rental Flexibility
• Applicants who purchase qualifying property may temporarily rent out the property while not residing in Malta
• Those who lease qualifying property may sublet the property after completing the first five-year period and obtaining the landlord's consent
This reform provides applicants with more flexible and diverse ways to utilize their assets.
As a "four-in-one" country, Malta holds the status of an EU member state, a Schengen Area member, a Commonwealth member, and a Eurozone country, making it an ideal destination for many immigrant investors. For investors looking to immigrate to Europe, one investment allows the whole family of four generations to apply for Malta permanent residence status! This programme has no requirements for language, education, or business background. The application conditions are simplified, the operation is straightforward, and the investment amount is low. At the same time, children can be admitted to top universities in mainland China with lower scores as overseas Chinese students, and the whole family can enjoy high-quality European medical care, retirement, and other benefits, which can be described as achieving multiple goals at once.
