The Malta Permanent Residence Programme grants permanent residence to foreign nationals who meet asset, property and contribution requirements. Turkish nationals qualify as applicants from outside the EU. This page explains the route and where to confirm the figures.
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.
The programme is open to nationals from outside the EU, the EEA and Switzerland, which includes Turkish nationals. Applicants must be over 18, hold a clean criminal record and not be subject to sanctions.
Applicants must also show the required assets and choose a qualifying property by rent or purchase. Confirm the documentary and source of funds rules with the official authority before you commit.
There is one investment route with options inside it. The applicant demonstrates the required level of assets, secures a qualifying property in Malta or Gozo by rent or purchase, and pays the government contribution and fees together with a philanthropic donation.
The property and asset thresholds can be met in more than one way. Confirm which combination fits your situation with the official authority.
Processing depends on due diligence and the completeness of the file. Once permanent residence is granted, the Residency Malta Agency checks compliance with the conditions each year for the first five years.
The property and other commitments must be maintained for at least five years. Confirm current timelines and conditions with the official authority.
The cost has several parts: an asset test, a property commitment, a government contribution, an administration fee and a mandatory philanthropic donation. The government contribution differs depending on whether you rent or buy property. Use the table as a checklist and confirm each figure with the official authority.
