In a world fraught with uncertainty - from rising tensions in the Middle East to the unpredictable actions of global superpowers - ensuring a stable, secure future has never been more important. Malta, with its neutrality, political stability, and EU membership, offers an unmatched sanctuary for those seeking peace of mind and prosperity in turbulent times. By becoming a Maltese resident, you gain not only access to Europe but also a trusted home base, free from the turmoil that threatens many regions.
The Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP) is a government initiative overseen by Residency Malta Agency, that allows third-country nationals to secure permanent residency in Malta through investment. Designed for individuals seeking stability, freedom of movement, and a safe environment, the MPRP offers access to the Schengen Zone and a thriving international business hub. It has become one of Europe’s most sought-after residency programmes, particularly among high-net-worth individuals seeking a secure future for their families. Many of these discerning professionals have chosen Yakof Agius & Associates as their trusted licensed agent to navigate the programme, with ease and confidence. By making the same strategic choice, you too can leverage Malta's unique advantages and secure your future in one of Europe's most dynamic countries.

In this article, we will explain the upcoming changes to the MPRP, which are set to take effect in January 2025 and which are expected to result in a greater capital outlay, as opposed to the current rules. With this insight, you can act now to benefit from the programme under its current terms and secure a stronger foundation for your future.

With key changes to Malta’s Permanent Residence Programme set to take effect from January 2025, it’s crucial to act now to secure your application under the current terms. These updates introduce higher financial thresholds, reflecting the growing prestige and appeal of Maltese residency, but they also present a limited window of opportunity for applicants to benefit from the existing, more accessible requirements. Below is a detailed comparison of the current and new regulations:
| Aspect | Current Terms | New Terms |
| Administrative Fee | €40,000 | €50,000 |
| Addition of Dependents | No Fee | €10,000 |
| Minimum Property Purchase |
€300,000 (South of Malta/Gozo) |
€375,000 (All regions) |
| Minimum Rental Payment | €10,000 (South of Malta/Gozo) | €14,000 (All regions) |
| Contribution (Rental) | €58,000 | €60,000 |
| Contribution (Purchase) | €28,000 | €30,000 |
Time, however, is a critical factor. The upcoming changes to Malta’s Permanent Residence Programme, effective 1st January 2025, are a sign-post for prospective applicants. While applying now offers the advantage of reduced financial outlay, some may consider applying after the rush has subsided, accepting higher costs for potentially more relaxed processing timelines. The choice is yours: act swiftly to secure residency under the current, more accessible terms, or pay for a premium investment after the new regulations take effect.
