Malta Citizenship for Exceptional Services

Malta Citizenship by Naturalisation for Exceptional Services by Direct Investment - Overview

The Maltese archipelago lies virtually at the centre of the Mediterranean, 93 km south of Sicily and 288 km north of Africa. The archipelago consists of three islands: Malta, Gozo and Comino. In 2014, the population of Malta was estimated to be 445,000 inhabitants, occupying an area of 316 square kilometers.

Malta is the largest island and the cultural, commercial and administrative centre. Gozo is the second largest island and is more rural, characterised by fishing, tourism, crafts and agriculture. Comino, the smallest of the trio, has one hotel and is largely uninhabited. Malta is renowned for sunny weather, attractive beaches, a thriving nightlife and 7,000 years of intriguing history, medieval towers, wayside chapels and the oldest known human structures in the world.

The Maltese Citizenship by Naturalisation for Exceptional Services by Direct Investment is an exclusive path to citizenship by naturalisation. Note that the previous Malta Individual Investor Programme (The Malta Citizenship by Investment Programme) has been terminated permanently.
