Investment property: Malta

We act on the buyer's side: shortlist, checks, end-to-end deal support.

Malta is a small EU market with a limited supply of land and steady demand from both locals and foreigners. Foreigners can buy property: within Special Designated Areas there are no restrictions and no limit on the number of units, while outside them a non-resident needs an AIP permit, generally for a single property for own use. Real estate is built into Malta's investment programs: the permanent residence program (MPRP) requires purchasing or renting a qualifying home at minimum levels set by the program. The citizenship-by-investment route no longer operates in its previous form following the EU Court of Justice ruling in 2025, and promises to the contrary should be treated with skepticism.

We help you choose between an SDA development and the open market with an AIP permit - these involve different budgets, rights and exit scenarios. We run legal due diligence on title and encumbrances, support the transaction with a Maltese notary, and assist with ownership structuring and non-resident taxation. If the property is intended for the MPRP, we align it with the program's current requirements so the purchase or lease is properly counted in your application, and we run both processes in parallel.

FAQ

Can a foreigner buy property in Malta?
Yes. In Special Designated Areas there are no restrictions; outside them a non-resident needs an AIP permit, generally for a single property for personal use.
Does buying property in Malta grant residency?
Not on its own, but purchasing or renting a qualifying home at set minimum levels is a mandatory component of the MPRP permanent residence program. The old citizenship-by-investment route no longer operates in its previous form after the 2025 EU Court of Justice ruling.
Where do we start?
By defining the goal: a pure investment or a combination with the MPRP. That determines the choice between an SDA development and the open market, the budget and the deal structure. Then comes the shortlist, due diligence and transaction support with a Maltese notary.
