◆ PERMANENT RESIDENCY
Malta Permanent Residence Programme
Lifetime residence permit in this English-speaking EU island nation. Total cost varies depending on real estate rental or purchase option. [Updated 27/07/2026] IMPORTANT NOTE: this is a residency program, not citizenship. On 29/04/2025, the Court of Justice of the European Union ordered Malta to close its investment citizenship program — that was the last CBI program in the EU. Anyone still selling Maltese passports is selling something that no longer exists.

Frequently asked questions
It faces serious legal uncertainty. The European Commission has sued Malta before the European Court of Justice, arguing that selling citizenship amounts to selling EU citizenship rights, which violates EU law. In April 2025, the Court ruled against Malta. You must discuss directly with a specialist to get the latest updates before considering this route.
MPRP is a Residency Program — it grants permanent residency rights, not citizenship — and carries no legal controversy. The citizenship-by-investment route is the one facing uncertainty. Many people confuse the two.
Yes. English is Malta's official language, used throughout administration, courts, education, and business — a legacy of 150 years under British rule. This is an advantage no other EU country offers at a comparable level.
The entire education system teaches in English — free public schools, quality private and church schools, and international schools offering the IB program. University of Malta lectures in English; degrees are recognized across the EU. This is Malta's single biggest advantage for Vietnamese families with school-age children.
A genuine strength. The public system ranks well in international assessments; Mater Dei Hospital is modern; doctors speak English. Residents with a residency card access the public system; private insurance is also common and affordable.
Yes, and many people don't anticipate it. Malta is only 316 km²; you can drive the length of the main island in about 45 minutes. Population density ranks among the world's highest. After a few months, the feeling of being enclosed is real for people used to large cities. We recommend spending time there first before committing to permanent relocation.
Malta was placed on the Financial Action Task Force's enhanced monitoring list in 2021 due to anti-money laundering deficiencies, and was removed in 2022 following reforms. That history means international banks conduct more thorough due diligence on Malta-related cases than usual — you need to prepare comprehensive documentation of fund sources.
Higher than both in most categories. Housing prices and rents have risen sharply due to rapid population growth on a fixed land area. Most food is imported. Electricity and water are significant costs because Malta must desalinate seawater — it ranks among the world's most water-stressed nations.
