Residency Malta Agency is the Government entity responsible for managing and promoting three residency programmes for non-EU nationals. The Malta Permanent Residence Programme, the Nomad Residence Permit and the Malta Startup Residence Programme. Through these programmes, third-country nationals are granted temporary or permanent residency in a safe and stable jurisdiction, with business opportunities, and access to top-notch education and health care, while enjoying a Mediterranean lifestyle.
These programmes cater to the diverse needs of individuals seeking new alternative residency solutions, aligning with Malta’s vision of attracting foreign direct investment, fostering innovation and entrepreneurship, and attracting skills and international talent. All applications undergo a rigorous due diligence process to ensure that only fit-and-proper individuals and families are granted residency.
The income generated by our programmes is directed to the Government’s Consolidated Fund, which is further divested into social and infrastructural projects that benefit Maltese citizens and new residents alike. In 2024 alone, the Agency generated more than €132 million in the Maltese economy, in a combination of direct government contributions, property purchase, lease agreements and donations to registered non-governmental organisations.
At Residency Malta, we are committed to providing exceptional service and seamless migratory pathways in a sustainable manner.
