Notes

DIRECT permanent residency program. Updated January 2025 with simplified fee structure (EUR 37K standardized contribution + EUR 2K NGO donation). Two asset paths: (a) EUR 500K total assets with EUR 150K in financial assets, OR (b) EUR 650K total assets with EUR 75K in financial assets. Real-estate component required (rent EUR 14K/yr OR buy EUR 375K minimum) held 5 years. No physical presence requirement during the year. MPRP is residence, NOT citizenship — Malta separately offers Granting of Citizenship for Exceptional Services by Direct Investment (MEIN) at much higher thresholds. Sister to MT Nomad Residence Permit + MT GRP.
