The Premium Passport team has global experts in over 13 countries. We can advise in 14 languages. Let us help you find the perfect investment migration solution.
We commence our process, appropriately enough, with Form 1. This enables us to carry out the initial Latitude due diligence. We will then provide you with a Client Agreement (CA). Before we proceed, you will need to review and sign this.
Upon receiving the signed agreement and retainer payment, our case processing team will next complete all necessary government forms. They will also collate the supporting documents. We will also liaise with the real estate professionals and Residency Malta Agency. You will, however, need to make the first contribution of €10,000.
Before submitting your documents, we scrutinize your application to ensure your file complies with Residency Malta Agency’s requirements.
Meanwhile, Residency Malta Agency will undertake its own due diligence and reviews all the paperwork. However, we will continue to work closely with them throughout the process.
You will receive an Approval in Principle Letter from the Residency Malta Agency, which confirms that you have met the eligibility criteria for the Malta Permanent Residency Programme (MPRP).
You’ll need to provide proof of property ownership or a rental agreement. In addition, you must make a mandatory charitable donation of €2,000. Then you’ll need to provide the government with your current health insurance policy documentation.
Once these requirements are met, you must make the third and final contribution payment before we can arrange for the issuing of your residency cards.
