Malta Citizenship by Investment – Second Passport in the Middle East

Why Choose Malta?

Malta offers one of the most trusted and secure Citizenship by Investment programs in the world. Holding a Maltese passport provides European Union citizenship and membership in the British Commonwealth, giving unparalleled access to travel, business, and social benefits. Strategically located between Sicily and North Africa, Malta is known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and thriving commercial and administrative hubs.

Malta Citizenship by Investment Program

Malta, a Schengen country since 2007 and a Commonwealth nation, has been an EU member since 2004. This combination of political and economic stability makes Malta a preferred choice for investors seeking a second citizenship.

Through the Malta Individual Investor Programme (MIIP), applicants make a significant economic contribution to Malta and, upon approval, gain full citizenship for themselves and eligible family members, after thorough background checks.
