Malta Citizenship by Investment Programme
Officially called the Malta Citizenship by Naturalisation for Exceptional Services by Direct Investment
process (MEIN) is a prestigious citizenship by naturalisation program. It grants citizenship by a
certificate of naturalisation to expats and their families who contribute to the nation’s economic
growth. This happens following a 36-month (or, by exception, 12-month) residence period.

Your guide to citizenship by investment in Malta
Citizenship by investment is when individuals obtain nationality in a country by making an investment, usually in real estate or government bonds. In Malta, citizenship by investment can only be obtained when the applicant makes a combination of investments in the country. These investments include:
- a direct,
- non-refundable investment,
- a property investment,
- and a philanthropic donation.
- Note that each application goes through a strict due diligence process, including detailed background checks. This ensures only the highest-quality candidates are selected for citizenship consideration. Another thing to keep in mind is that there is a cap of 1,500 applications, with no more than 400 successful applications per year, which are processed by The Community Malta Agency (CMA).
So if you’re planning on applying, we encourage you to do so as soon as possible for favourable results.
Malta Citizenship by Naturalisation for Exceptional Services by Direct Investment (MEIN)
Launched at the end of 2020 and ratified by Maltese government, MEIN now replaces the previous Malta Individual Investor Program, which went through a makeover in November 2020. MEIN leads to Maltese citizenship and a second passport provided that applicants meet the program eligibility requirements. In other words, just an updated version of Malta’s old citizenship by investment scheme.
