Citizenship by Merit
Reflecting the 2025 Maltese Citizenship Reform
Recognition through Citizenship for Successful Entrepreneurs, Philanthropists, Tech Founders
Our Citizenship Lawyers offer expert, fully tailored guidance for individuals and globally mobile families seeking Maltese Citizenship by Merit.
Malta’s Citizenship by Merit, as provided for in the Citizenship Act and Legal Notice 159 of 2025, recognises individuals whose exceptional achievements, contributions or service advance the national interest. Eligible fields include science, innovation, arts, culture, sport, public service, entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and technology.
Applicants undergo rigorous due diligence to ensure only individuals of proven merit are recognised. This process safeguards Malta’s citizenship framework while welcoming those whose contributions have a meaningful national impact.

| Government Contribution | € 28,000 | € 58,000 |
| Property Rental | n/a | €10,000 / year (Gozo/South of Malta) €12,000 / year (rest of Malta) |

The first step in the Citizenship by Merit process is to visit Malta and submit a residence application. Once a residence card is issued, applicants must submit a comprehensive overview of their background, a detailed description of their proposed exceptional service or contribution, and a clear plan for how they intend to continue benefiting the Republic of Malta. This includes preparing a tailored proposal letter for consideration by the Evaluation Board. If approved, an application for naturalisation may then be filed.
Our practice offers seamless and holistic advisory services in relation to the acquisition of Maltese Citizenship by Merit, including:
Advising on your eligibility before submitting a citizenship application
Providing guidance on the preparation and submission of a tailored proposal letter to the Evaluation Board;
Assisting with the preparation, vetting, and review of all supporting documentation for accuracy and compliance;
Offering continuous support throughout the naturalisation process until citizenship is granted.
This tailored approach ensures that each application effectively demonstrates the candidate’s merit and aligns with Malta’s criteria for citizenship by exceptional service.
Under Malta’s Citizenship Act, the Minister may grant citizenship by naturalisation to exceptional individuals whose achievements or service advance Malta’s national interest and long-term vision, including Malta Vision 2050. Eligible candidates may include:
