Malta Permanent Residence Permit

It offers visa-free travel within the Schengen Area, covers up to four generations per application, and allows investment redemption after five years, providing a secure and long-term residency solution.
Malta: Europe without Borders
From the ancient Neolithic temples of Mnajdra and Hypogeum to the baroque magnificence of local palazzos, Malta is a world-class destination in which to live, work and relax. In addition to permanent residency in Malta, the Malta Permanent Residence Program offers the possibility of obtaining an EU residence card granting free travel across Europe’s Schengen Area for the entire family in return for a property investment.
Malta, a gateway between North Africa and Europe, allows successful applicants to reside indefinitely in the country. The residency programme is open to up to four generations of the same family per application. Applicants have the right to redeem their qualifying investment after five years and also have access to employment opportunities.
The benefits of acquiring Maltese residence include the right to visa-free travel to any of the 27 EU states. The permit is renewable indefinitely, providing a lifetime residence solution to applicants.

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!

Very beautiful passports, and as my mom said: blue suits us very well!
