Non-Maltese beneficiaries receiving a pension from the United Nations fund can participate in the United Nations Pension program. There are several requirements for the applicants, including not being employed and owning a property in Malta.
Aside from that, other ways to obtain residency in Malta might be more convenient. Investors from non-EU countries can obtain residency by investment or become citizens by naturalisation for exceptional services.
To apply for permanent residency by investment, applicants need to rent or buy real estate, pay government and administrative fees and make a charitable donation. Aside from that, they will have to pass an Eligibility test and prove that they have assets of €500,000 in the disposal.
To become citizens by naturalisation for exceptional services, investors must first retain a residence permit for 1 or 3 years. The conditions include buying or renting real estate, paying contribution and administrative fees, and making a charitable donation to a local NGO.
