2025 Updates to Malta’s MPRP: Investment and Fee Changes

Malta, with its Mediterranean allure, robust economy, and high quality of life, continues to be a leading choice for those seeking permanent residence in Europe.

In 2025, Malta will implement significant changes to its Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP). These revisions include higher investment requirements and increased fees, designed to boost the programme’s appeal and ensure its long-term viability. The updated regulations will require applicants to contribute more financially and adhere to more stringent eligibility standards.

To obtain permanent residence in Malta, applicants must meet three main requirements:

  1. Pay a one-time government application fee of €110,000 if renting a property, or €80,000 if purchasing one. An additional €10,000 fee applies for each dependent.
  2. Either rent a property in Malta for €14,000 annually or purchase one for €375,000. The property must be held for a minimum of 5 years.
  3. Make a €2,000 donation to a registered local NGO in areas such as philanthropy, culture, sports, science, animal welfare, or the arts.

Additionally, applicants must provide proof of assets worth at least €500,000, with a minimum of €150,000 in financial assets. Alternatively, applicants can demonstrate ownership of assets totaling at least €650,000, with at least €75,000 in financial assets.

The Residency Malta Agency will continue to accept expressions of interest from MPRP applicants under the current regulations until December 31, 2024. After this, a grace period will be provided until March 28, 2025, for applicants to submit their complete MPRP applications along with all required supporting documents.
