Citizenship for exceptional services is acquired by naturalization. First, investors get Malta residency and maintain it for 1 or 3 years; only then may they apply for a passport.
The duration of residency required for citizenship is determined by the contribution amount: €600,000 equals 3-year residency, while €750,000 reduces it to 1 year.
Foreigners can become Maltese citizens if they pass a strict Due Diligence check. The terms and requirements for applicants are regulated by the Maltese Citizenship Act, amended in November 2020.

Investors fulfil three obligatory investment conditions:
If the investor contributes €600,000 to the NDSF, they may apply for citizenship after 3 years of residency. The contribution of €750,000 allows 1 year of residency. An additional €50,000 is added per family member included in the citizenship application, irrespective of the chosen residency term.
The first step for an investor is to get a residence permit. That requires having a residential address in Malta, which can be rented for 1 or 3 years.
Applying for citizenship requires a new rental agreement for at least €16,000 per year. The rental term is at least 5 years.
