Frequently Asked Questions
Malta Real Estate — Common Questions
Answers to the most common questions from investors considering real estate in Malta.
Can foreigners buy property in Malta?
EU citizens can purchase property in Malta without restrictions. Non-EU nationals require an Acquisition of Immovable Property (AIP) permit, which is routinely granted for qualifying MPRP investments. TopNation Global advisors handle the permit process as part of our full service.
What is the minimum property investment for the Malta MPRP?
Under the Malta Permanent Residence Programme, the minimum purchase price is €375,000 for properties in Malta, or €300,000 for properties located in the south of Malta or on Gozo. Alternatively, investors may rent at €14,000/year (Malta) or €12,000/year (south/Gozo).
How long does the Malta MPRP process take?
From application submission, the process typically takes 6–8 months to the issuance of your permanent residence certificate. Our advisors maintain regular contact with Residency Malta Agency to ensure efficient processing.
Can I rent out my Malta investment property?
Yes. After the mandatory 5-year holding period, there are no restrictions on renting the property. During the holding period, the property must serve as your qualifying investment — however, short-stay rentals are generally permitted provided the property remains your principal qualifying asset.
Do I need to live in Malta to maintain residency?
No. The Malta Permanent Residence Programme has no minimum physical presence requirement. You retain your permanent residence status without needing to reside in Malta continuously.
What property types qualify for the Malta MPRP?
Residential properties — apartments, penthouses, townhouses, and villas — qualify. Properties must be purchased on the open market. New-build and resale properties are both eligible, provided they meet the minimum investment thresholds.

Investing in Malta Real Estate
Malta's property market has delivered consistent capital appreciation driven by its EU membership, geographic scarcity, and high demand from the financial services and iGaming sectors. The island's regulatory environment is transparent and buyer-friendly, with British-influenced property law providing strong title security.
The Investment Programme
The Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP) is administered by Residency Malta Agency and allows successful applicants and their families to live, work, and study in Malta indefinitely. The programme requires a qualifying real estate investment alongside a government contribution and charitable donation — creating one of the most straightforward EU residency pathways available.
The Property Market
Prime residential areas in Valletta, Sliema, St. Julian's, Msida, and Ta' Xbiex command the strongest values and rental yields. New-build developments in Portomaso and Tigne Point represent the pinnacle of Malta's luxury residential market. Gozo offers lower entry prices with a growing appeal as a second-home and rental destination.
