To qualify for citizenship, the main applicant must meet all of the following investment requirements:
Make a non-refundable investment of €600,000 when the application is submitted after 36 months of residency. An expedited option is available which allows the investor to apply for citizenship after 12 months with an investment of €750,000. Each dependent requires an additional investment of €50,000.
The acquisition of real estate with a minimum value of €700,000 to be held for at least 5 years; or lease a residential immovable property in Malta for a period of 5 years, at an annual rent of at least €16,000.
