Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP)

Community Malta Agency Number : AKM-IMMV

One of the most attractive permanent residency programmes available is the Malta Permanent Residence Programme. The Programme which is regulated by a robust legal framework, has so far attracted thousands of applications from all over the world. It is a permanent residency programme which allows applicants, parents-in-law and grandparents the opportunity to reside or settle indefinitely in Malta or Gozo. The residency cards provide an opportunity to applicants to travel within the twenty-six countries making up the Schengen zone one hundred and eighty days per year. Once residency is attained, applicants may opt to find employment and/or set up a business in Malta or Gozo. The investment is reasonable given that the Maltese islands are continuously registering growth in their economy.
