Citizenship Programmes & Naturalisation
Malta’s current citizenship framework includes naturalisation on the basis of merit, a discretionary legal process distinct from the former investor-citizenship framework. Other jurisdictions listed below operate citizenship-by-investment programmes under their own national laws.
