Submission of Application
The agent has to provide a covering letter stating why main applicant is interested in obtaining residence in Malta. Why is this required?
The Agency requires an introductory letter from the agent explaining the applicant’s motivation to apply for residency-by-investment in Malta. Additionally, main applicant may also opt to forward a letter of intent.
How can a main applicant make payments?
Payments to settle any fees should only be made by direct debit from the bank account as declared by the main applicant in Form MPRP 2 on submission of application.
The following payment methods are not accepted by Residency Malta Agency :

At the time the application pack is accepted by the Agency, a request for payment is handed over to the agent, who will instruct the main applicant to effect payment within one month directly from the bank account specified in Form MPRP2 to the Agency’s bank account, quoting the application reference number.
