Following the successful screening, we will provide you with a Client Agreement (CA) to review and sign.
Once we have the signed agreement and the retainer payment, our case processing team will handle all necessary government forms and gather supporting documents. We will also coordinate with the Community Malta Agency, the body responsible for the Maltese Exceptional Investor Naturalization (MEIN).
Applying for Residency and Establishing Residence:
A designated Relationship Manager (RM) will assist you with your Malta Citizenship by Investment application. If your global health insurance is insufficient, we will source local insurance quotes for you. To meet the residence requirement of the application, you will need to either rent a property for at least 12 months or purchase a property, demonstrating genuine ties to Malta. Most clients opt to lease at this stage. We will organize your initial visit to Malta, accompanying you to your meeting with the Community Malta Agency and advising you on the necessary duration of stay in Malta during the residency phase.
Application for Maltese Citizenship Programme:
You’ll visit our Malta office to collaborate with your RM on the Malta citizenship programme application. Your RM will then arrange for a local notary to certify the required supporting documents in Malta and will coordinate other essential appointments, including medical visits for the necessary medical forms.
Approval in Principle:
Upon receiving Approval in Principle from the Community Malta Agency, the next step is to pay the remaining contribution to the National Development and Social Fund and complete other obligations, such as evidencing your property commitment and making a charitable donation.
Oath of Allegiance and Passport Application:
Following an invitation from the Maltese Government, you and every family member aged 18 and above will take the Oath of Allegiance, receiving a Certificate of Naturalization afterwards. We then proceed with passport applications for all family members aged six and above, requiring their presence for passport biometrics.
