Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • Do I need to be in Malta to start my application?

    It depends on the residency program you’re applying for. Some Malta residency and citizenship pathways can be initiated while you’re abroad, while others may require you to travel to Malta at certain stages of the application process.

    Your immigration lawyer will explain the requirements for your specific program and guide you through the most efficient approach based on your circumstances.

  • Can my family be included in my application?

    In many cases, yes. Malta offers residency pathways that allow eligible family members to be included in the same application or to apply alongside the main applicant.

    The specific rules depend on the residency program, but spouses, dependent children, and, in some cases, other qualifying family members may be eligible.

    During your consultation, the legal team will review your family’s circumstances and recommend the best strategy for your application.

  • How much does a consultation cost?

    The consultation is totally free. During the call, you’ll learn about the costs for immigration services and the visa application fees charged by the government.

  • Do I need to speak Maltese?

    No. The team at Chetcuti Cauchi is multi-lingual so you’ll be supported in English every step of the way.
