What is the Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP)?

The Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP) offers non-EU, non-EEA, and non-Swiss nationals the opportunity to move to and permanently live in Malta, while enjoying visa-free travel across the Schengen Area, and the possibility to include your family members in the application. The Malta Government introduced the first version of the Malta Residence and Visa Programme Regulations in 2016, being subsequently replaced by the Malta Permanent Residence Programme Regulations. The latter regulations were recently updated for applications submitted as of the 1st of January 2025, and remain available for those seeking to move to Malta, or simply enjoy having the peace of mind of a second home and residence in the Europe.

Key Benefits:

Permanent right to reside in Malta
Visa-free travel across the Schengen Area for up to 90 days every 180 days
Option to either invest in a property purchase, or simply rent a property in Malta
