MPRP Series: Understanding the Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A step-by-step guide by Sciberras Advocates \u2013 Licensed Agent RES-SCIB \u2013 Article 2<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before completing the full MPRP process, applicants may apply for a one-year Temporary Residence Permit. This interim stage allows beneficiaries and their dependants to reside legally in Malta while preparing and finalising the complete application for permanent residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Sciberras Advocates (Licence RES-SCIB), we guide clients through this preliminary step to ensure compliance with all requirements set by the Residency Malta Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is the Temporary Residence Permit?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This permit is valid for one year and may be renewed at the Agency\u2019s discretion. It gives applicants time to finalise their MPRP submission while already enjoying residence rights in Malta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A full MPRP application must be submitted within six months<\/strong> of obtaining the temporary residence permit. Failure to do so could result in withdrawal of the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Application Process Flow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power of Attorney (POA)<\/strong> \u2013 The main applicant signs a POA authorising Sciberras Advocates to act on their behalf for all matters related to the MPRP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Submission of Application Pack<\/strong> \u2013 The licensed agent submits the application pack during the biometric appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biometric Data Capture<\/strong> \u2013 The applicant\u2019s fingerprints, photo, and signature are collected during the appointment booked through the Agency\u2019s system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Payment of Fees<\/strong> \u2013 The main applicant must pay an initial administrative fee of \u20ac15,000 and an additional \u20ac100 for each residence card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Processing and Collection<\/strong> \u2013 Residency cards are typically issued within four weeks of biometrics and can be collected either by the applicant or the agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
