A step-by-step guide by Sciberras Advocates – Licensed Agent RES-SCIB – Article 3
Once the temporary permit stage is complete, applicants proceed to the full MPRP submission, the key stage that leads to the issuance of the Certificate of Residence.
At Sciberras Advocates (Licence RES-SCIB), we prepare, review, and submit complete application packs, ensuring that every document complies with the Residency Malta Agency’s requirements.
The Main Steps

Letter of Approval in Principle – Once approved, the applicant receives a formal letter confirming eligibility.
Investments and Contributions – The applicant proceeds to settle the required investment, donation, and contribution payments.
Biometric Data and Residency Card – Applicants attend a biometrics appointment in Malta; cards are issued for five years.
Annual Compliance – For the first five years, beneficiaries must renew proof of property and health insurance annually.
