The Application Process

To apply, you will need to supply the following:

  • Passport;
  • Passport-sized photo on white background (preferably on non-glossy paper);
  • Completed application form;
  • Completed identity registration form (ID1A);
  • Completed form ID2 if applying by post (option not available to non-EU nationals);
  • Any other specific documentation pertaining to the type of residency (details can be found on the application form).

Along with your application you will need to show proof of health insurance for you and any dependents.

The application fee for the Global Residence Program is 4,000 euros, payable at application stage. From the date that you actually take up residence in Malta, a further amount of 2,000 euros is also owed. However, if you choose to take up residence in the more lightly populated island of Gozo or in the south of Malta, you can benefit from a 500-euro deduction in this final payment.
