The new Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP) has been launched and is now accepting applications.

The Maltese Government has published the Malta Permanent Residence Regulations about the acquisition of Maltese permanent residency. The new Programme replaces the previous Malta Residence and Visa Programme (MRVP).
