How can this route lead to permanent residence and citizenship?
MPRP application: Meet the property, contribution, financial-resource and due-diligence conditions of the permanent residence programme. Permanent residence: MPRP grants permanent residence subject to its continuing conditions. Actual residence must separately be established for a nationality application. Maltese citizenship · discretionary: Residence-based naturalisation requires the final twelve months of residence plus four years in the preceding six, English or Maltese, good character and suitability. The Minister decides whether to grant nationality. Meeting the residence period creates eligibility to apply, not an entitlement.
