Investment Process
1

month1

Due Diligence Process

Due Diligence is a crucial step in the Malta Permanent Residence Programme, determining whether the investor will be granted residency status. A certified Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Officer performs a preliminary Due Diligence check to mitigate the risk of rejection or future issues.

The officer reviews the investor’s information using the same databases as the Residency Malta Agency. This process is confidential and typically completed within one working day. Global Mobility Capital’s Compliance Department conducts these preliminary checks, reducing the rejection risk to 1%.

month 1

Document Preparation and Submission

Global Mobility Capital’s legal team compiles a list of required documents and assists the investor with their preparation. The lawyers gather the investor’s financial history, translate documents into English, notarize copies, and ensure the correct completion of application forms.

Once the documents are ready, the lawyers submit them to the Residency Malta Agency. At this stage, the investor must pay a non-refundable administration fee of €10,000.

month 3

Due Diligence by the Residency Malta Agency

The Residency Malta Agency conducts its comprehensive Due Diligence review. In some cases, the agency may request additional information regarding the investor’s business or finances. Global Mobility Capital lawyers will prepare the necessary documents, confirm them with the investor, and submit them to the agency. The Due Diligence process usually takes between four to eight months.

month 3

Investment Fulfillment and Approval

Once the Residency Malta Agency approves the application, Global Mobility Capital receives the notice of approval. The investor must then fulfill the investment conditions within the stipulated time frame. The remaining €30,000 administration fee must be paid within two months of approval. The process of paying the contribution fee, making the required donation, and purchasing or renting property can take up to eight months. At the same time, the investor must secure medical insurance with a minimum coverage of €30,000 per person. Global Mobility Capital’s lawyers submit all supporting documents to the Residency Malta Agency once the conditions are met.

month 4

Fingerprint in Malta

The investor and all family members included in the application must travel to Malta for fingerprinting at the Residency Malta Agency. Fingerprinting is done after the application has been approved, but it can be completed before all investment conditions are met.

Final Review and Approval

The Residency Malta Agency reviews all additional documents submitted after the investment conditions have been fulfilled. Once reviewed, Global Mobility Capital receives the final approval, confirming that the applicants will receive their permanent residence cards.

Issuance of Permanent Residence Cards

The Residency Malta Agency issues the Certificate of Residence and permanent residence cards, which are sent to Global Mobility Capital’s lawyers in Malta. The investor receives these documents via courier and does not need to visit Malta to collect them. The permanent residence card for adults is valid for five years, while minor applicants must renew the card when they turn 14 or 18 years old.

Annual Compliance Check

*For the first five years after obtaining permanent residence, the Residency Malta Agency will annually check whether the investor continues to meet the programme’s conditions, including renting or owning property in Malta and maintaining assets of €500,000.

    Malta Golden Visa Legal Background

    The Malta Golden Visa Program is established under the Maltese Immigration Act (Chapter 217, Laws of Malta) and associated regulations. This program grants foreign nationals and their families a residence permit in Malta by fulfilling specific investment criteria, while also offering visa-free travel within the Schengen Area.

    Under this program, foreign nationals must make an approved investment, either by purchasing real estate or renting property in Malta. The minimum property purchase requirement is €300,000 in the south of Malta or on Gozo, or €350,000 in the north or central regions of Malta. Alternatively, investors may opt to rent property with a minimum annual rental of €10,000 in the south or Gozo, or €12,000 in the north or central Malta. The investment must be verified and approved by Maltese authorities, specifically the Residency Malta Agency.

    Investors are required to submit the necessary documents and follow legal procedures. The process for applying for a residence permit includes the following steps:

    • Full copy of the passport: A certified copy of the applicant’s passport, confirming its validity, must be submitted.
    • Residence permit application form: The official residence permit application form issued by the Residency Malta Agency must be thoroughly completed.
    • Photograph: A recent biometric passport-sized photograph, taken within the last six months and meeting international standards, is required.
    • Proof of financial status: The applicant must provide documents proving the source of funds and the adequacy of the investment, such as bank statements or tax returns.
    • Title deed or rental agreement: For real estate investments, the title deed or notarized rental agreement must be submitted as proof of ownership or commitment.
    • Medical report: A medical report verifying the applicant’s general health condition may be requested, which could include specific test results, such as HIV testing.
    • Criminal record: A clean criminal record must be submitted, issued by the relevant authorities in the applicant’s country of residence or any country where they have resided in the past five years.

    To expedite the process, investors may grant power of attorney to a legal representative in Malta. The initial residence permit is valid for five years and can be renewed for subsequent five-year periods, provided the investment is maintained.

    The following additional documents must also be submitted when applying for a residence permit:

    • Investment certificate: An official document confirming that the investment has been approved by the Maltese government.
    • Tax number (TIN): A Maltese tax identification number must be obtained as part of the investment process.
    • Documents for additional family members: If family members, such as a spouse or dependent children, are included, copies of their passports, criminal records, and health reports must also be submitted and notarized.

    Applications are evaluated in accordance with Maltese Immigration Law and relevant regulations. Maintaining the investment is essential for the renewal of the residence permit. After five years, the investor may apply for permanent residency, and after eight years of continuous residency, they may become eligible for Maltese citizenship, provided they meet the legal and language requirements.
