Malta

After onboarding with FFB and passing due diligence, you proceed with the main government contribution (€600,000 or €750,000), secure property (purchase or rental agreement), and make the €10,000 charitable donation. A residence permit is then held for either 12 or 36 months. Following this, citizenship is granted— and you can receive your passport within 2–4 weeks of approval.

Absolutely. Malta allows dual citizenship, meaning you keep your original nationality while also acquiring Maltese citizenship — no need to renounce your passport.
‍
However, keep in mind that not all countries permit dual citizenship, and your country of current citizenship may not allow you to acquire citizenship elsewhere. If your country does not allow it, the only way to hold multiple passports would be to renounce your existing citizenship.

The programme operates under the Maltese Citizenship Act, specifically the Exceptional Investor Naturalisation regulations (LN 437 of 2020). This sets out investment, residency, and due diligence requirements.
