Malta Permanent Residence Programme
The Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP) provides eligible non-European investors and their families with an opportunity to obtain permanent residence in Malta. As an EU member state and part of the Schengen Area, Malta offers international families greater mobility, long-term security, access to European opportunities, and the flexibility to build a strategic base in Europe.
SEG supports Pakistani investors, entrepreneurs, business owners, and families throughout the complete Malta residency application process.
