What this does not give
Permanent residence is not citizenship, does not provide a Maltese passport, and does not give the right to live or work in other EU states.
Approval rests with the authority
Only the issuing government or its unit can approve, refuse, or revoke an application.
No outcome can be promised
No adviser can guarantee a decision. Any claim of assured approval is a warning sign.
Rules can change after publication
Thresholds, fees, and criteria are set by the authority and may change — confirm before you commit.
