MALTA CITIZENSHIP LAW

In 2020, an amendment to the Maltese Citizenship Act introduced the possibility of acquiring Maltese citizenship through investment. The amendment led to the promulgation of the "Granting of Citizenship for Exceptional Services Regulations" (Legal Notice 437 of 2020), which allow individuals of high net worth and good reputations to obtain Maltese citizenship by investing in the country. Successful applicants are granted a Malta passport and enjoy all the benefits of Maltese citizenship. However, direct investment applications are limited to a maximum of 400 per year and 1,500 in total.
