The MPRP is a clearly structured residency-by-investment programme based on investments in property and government contributions. The success of the Programme lies in the all-round value it offers individuals and families wishing to make Malta their home away from home. This success is driving ever-growing numbers of application submissions which, at present, is affecting our original promise of a 4 to 6 month processing time from the submission of a complete and correct application. We are committed to reducing the current waiting time at the earliest and we are investing in a number of measures towards this end without, in any way, compromising our stringent due diligence checks.
