Malta Permanent Residence and Citizenship: The Complete Guide

Malta no longer sells citizenship. The Court of Justice ended the investor route on 29 April 2025, and the merit route that replaced it is discretionary and may not be marketed. This guide sets out what genuinely remains: permanent residence under the MPRP, the tax programmes that are replaced on 1 January 2027, and the slow, real road to a Maltese passport, with every government charge traced to its source.

Fourteen chapters, about 23,000 words. How citizenship by investment ended and what happens to existing holders. A comparison of every route that remains. The Malta Permanent Residence Programme and its process in full detail, with every government charge. The tax-status programmes and the Individual Tax Programme that replaces them from 2027. How Malta taxes a resident, property, naturalisation, the UK, US and UAE treaties, costs route by route, three worked scenarios and the evidence.

Every figure traces to a primary source, and the points the sources genuinely dispute are marked as contested rather than asserted.
