Citizenship Acquisition Process
Finding a Licensed Agent
The first step on your residency journey should be to work with a professional agency that will guide you every step of the way. From acquiring your Malta Golden Visa to securing citizenship by investment, Mirabello Consultancy is here to streamline the process.
Real Estate
In order to gain your Malta golden visa, you need to lease or purchase qualifying property:
- Rent a property for a minimum of €10,000 in the South of Malta/Gozo or €12,000 in the rest of Malta
- purchase a property for a minimum value of €300,000 in the South of Malta/Gozo or €350,000 in the rest of Malta
The same property must be held during the entire duration of the first five years of residency in order to be able to qualify for citizenship.
Including Family
The Malta residency program allows investors to include family members as residents. Spouses, and children who are dependent are automatically included in the Malta residency process. Each dependent parent will cost a fee of €7,500 for their application.
Philanthropic Donation
After securing your property, a donation of €2,000 must be made to an NGO registered with the Commissioner of Voluntary Organisations. Making this donation to a local organization shows your commitment to residing in Malta.
Travel Insurance
Applicants and their families must have a healthcare insurance policy when traveling in the country as well as one for the Schengen Area. This residency requirement ensures that your bases are covered in case of a medical emergency.
