The Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP) was launched by virtue of the Legal Notice 121 of 2021 and came into force on 29th March 2021. The authority responsible for managing, as well as for promoting the Programme is the Residency Malta Agency.
Through MPRP Third Country Nationals and their dependents willing to invest in the islands of Malta are granted a permanent Maltese residency, which provides them with the opportunity to reside, settle and live in Malta. One of the main features of this program is that there are no minimum stay requirements towards the applicant. This gives a privilege to the applicant and his dependants to travel freely within the Schengen area for 90 days in a 180 day period.
