Malta Individual Investor Programme (IIP) allows for the grant of a certificate of naturalisation as a citizen of Malta to foreign nationals and their dependants.

Nationals of every country, except those countries where international sanctions apply or which the Maltese government decides to exclude from time to time on the basis of policy, may apply.

​

In order to qualify under the programme the main applicant must:

The property is to be retained (if bought) or leased (if rented) for a period of at least 5 years.
