The granting of Maltese citizenship by naturalisation for exceptional services by direct investment (ESDI) regulations offer a streamlined residence-to-citizenship path, with the possibility to include family members. Apart from a philantropic element, investments in real estate and the Maltese economy are required.

INVESTMENT CRITERIA
The Granting of Citizenship For Exceptional Services Regulations, through direct investment, offer two routes towards citizenship in Malta.
The investment in the Maltese Economy may be reduced to EUR 600,000 if applicants choose to hold 3 years' residence instead of 12 months, prior to applying for citizenship.
PROCESS
From enquiry to completion, the 4-stage process takes approximately 14-16 months.
