The Malta Permanent Residence Programme is a residency by investment route administered by the Residency Malta Agency and open to Indian nationals through a licensed agent.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
Indian nationals are eligible, as the programme is open to applicants from outside the European Union, the European Economic Area and Switzerland. Applicants must be over 18, hold a clean record and not be under sanctions.
Applicants must also show assets, with a requirement reported at 500,000 euros including a portion in liquid financial assets. Applications can only be filed through a licensed Residency Malta agent. Confirm the current eligibility rules with the official authority.
There is one programme with a property element plus government charges. On the property side you either rent or buy. Reported minimums are an annual rent from 10,000 euros in the south of Malta or Gozo and 14,000 euros elsewhere, or a purchase from 300,000 euros in the south of Malta or Gozo and 375,000 euros elsewhere.
Alongside the property element, applicants pay a government administrative fee, a government contribution and a donation to an approved non governmental organisation reported at 2,000 euros. Confirm the current amounts with the official authority.
The process is reported to run roughly six to fourteen months from engaging a licensed agent to receiving the residence card. Confirm current processing times with the official authority.
The total outlay combines the property cost, the government administrative fee, the government contribution, the non governmental organisation donation and licensed agent fees. Exact charges differ for renting versus buying. Confirm the current government fees with the official authority.
