Malta Citizenship for Exceptional Services
At the end of April 2025, due to the recognition by the European Court of Justice of Citizenship by Investment program not complying with EU rules, since it does not imply a real connection with the state when obtaining citizenship by investment, the acceptance of applications by Investment program was suspended. The country's official bodies announced the development and launch of a procedure for granting citizenship "based on a combination of merits": economic, cultural, scientific or humanitarian.
A Brief Introduction to Malta
From the ancient Neolithic temples of Mnajdra and Hypogeum to the baroque magnificence of local palazzos, Malta is undoubtedly a world-class destination to live, work and relax.
Serving as the gateway between North Africa and Europe, the islands have a long and proud history of conquerors, and various civilizations have since their distinctive marks on the country.
From the Venetians, the Maltese draw their iconic colourful boats seen in harbours all over Valetta. From the Knights of St John, the impressive ramparts and fortresses of Valletta and the Three Cities, marking the city out as a true historical treasure trove.
Malta features impressive and unique architecture, the most distinctive being St John’s Cathedral in the capital as well as the famed Mosta Dome.
For the holidaymaker seeking to work on their tan, there are plenty of resorts and a thriving nightlife. The water here is warmer and cleaner than many other countries in the Mediterranean. For the adventurous, Malta also offers a full gamut of opportunities for walking, rock climbing, sailing and water sports.

Our clients' stories
Real Estate Investment in Europe
We would like to express our deepest gratitude on behalf of our entire family. When applying for Montenegrin citizenship through your service, we could hardly believe we would manage to complete everything correctly and on time. Your professionalism and organization helped us gather a huge set of documents in just a few days, even though our paperwork was scattered across three different countries.
Ability to Travel Freely to EU Countries for Russian Citizens
Our main question was how to get visa-free access to Europe for the whole family, including our children and father. We heard that Greece allows parents but does not accept Russian citizens. We had never heard of Vanuatu before, but now we are its citizens with Greek residency. Thank you!
Freedom to Travel in Europe
Thank you, we did it! I didn’t believe we would make it in time, then I doubted it would be approved, and now I have my Grenadian passport!

It is clear that this team prioritizes not overburdening the client and always comes forward with ready recommendations.

I can’t believe it’s been almost 7 years—time just flew by, and now, finally, the passport…
Residence permit for retirees
Obtaining a European residence permit as a retiree in Bulgaria was an unexpected suggestion from Beyond—I didn’t even know it was possible. I decided to take the risk, and I have no regrets.
