Malta Investor Citizenship Programme

Legal-Malta interviews leading Maltese Citizenship Law specialist Dr Jean-Philippe Chetcuti on his experience of the Malta Citizenship Program. Having handled the largest number of applications to date, Dr Chetcuti shares his experience of the main countries of origin of applicants so far, and key reasons why business families and high net worth investors are choosing Malta as their European country of choice for their naturalisation, over Cyprus that offers a more capital intensive citizenship programme requiring €5m investment. Dr Jean-Philippe Chetcuti is the author of the Dual Citizenship Report and is a recognised authority on matters of Maltese investor citizenship and tax planning. Chetcuti Cauchi Advocates' immigration subsidiary was the first to be licenced under the Individual Investor Programmes.
