How Much Does Malta Citizenship Cost

The qualifying investment

There is no current route to buy Maltese citizenship. The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled on 29 April 2025 that granting citizenship mainly in exchange for investment breached European Union law. The investor naturalisation route, run by the Community Malta Agency, closed in 2025.

Any figure you see quoted for a Maltese passport by investment now describes a route that is no longer open.

Government and processing fees

Because the investor route is closed, there is no current schedule of government contributions or processing fees to quote for it. Malta has signalled a move toward a merit based citizenship framework for people who make exceptional contributions to the country, but that is not a buy in route and its terms are set by the authorities.

Professional fees

We do not name or rank firms. If you are weighing Maltese residency rather than citizenship, or another European route, an independent and licensed advisor can explain what is actually open to you and what it costs. Use Get Matched below and we will introduce you in confidence.

Building a realistic budget

For citizenship by investment in Malta the honest budget today is that the route does not exist. Plan instead around routes that are open. Confirm the current position with the official authority before relying on any figure.
