A second citizenship from Europe
In 2020, Malta removed the regulations of the Malta Individual Citizenship Program and amended this program to introduce it in a new form, which helps foreign investors obtain Malta citizenship after direct investment. Malta is a European country within the European Union, located near Italy, and its people speak the Maltese and English languages. Malta has a mix of coastal lifestyle, urban architecture and a rich history spanning 7,000 years. Because of its location between Europe and Africa, Malta is considered a strategic corridor for goods, and this is one of the main reasons for the prosperity of Malta's economy and the availability of investments and business. The process of obtaining Malta citizenship by investment takes place in three stages. The first is to reside in Malta for a period of 12 months or 36 months. After obtaining the residency card, you have the right to apply for the program with proof of the availability for the required investment amounts. After proving the requirements and successfully passing the security test, you will be invited to take the Maltese Oath and then obtain Maltese citizenship and passport.
No attendance, no language test, and no residency in the country to get the citizenship, which makes it the fastest program to obtain a second citizenship
