Course Description

Malta offers two distinct permanent residency pathways the Maltese Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP) through investment, which we covered in the Golden Visa section, and the standard long term residency available to foreign nationals who have lived and worked legally in Malta for 5 years. This course focuses on the standard long term residency pathway the route that workers, graduates, and spouses most commonly take and covers the full application process through Identità, the residency card, and Malta's citizenship pathway for long term residents.
