Ukrainians were given a life hack on how to quickly obtain citizenship in one of the European Union countries.

According to information from the portal migrate, Ukrainians were informed about a European Union country where citizenship can be obtained quickly.

Each EU country has its own rules, and the process of obtaining citizenship usually takes many years. However, for affluent individuals, there is an investment citizenship program.

A special path to citizenship is offered by Malta - an island nation with resorts and a rich cultural heritage. In 2020, the Maltese government introduced a new MEIN program, under which citizenship can be obtained by making significant investments in the economy and social development of the country.

There are two options for obtaining Maltese citizenship through the investment program:

Standard route:

• Investment of 600,000 euros
• Residency status for 36 months
• Due diligence check

Accelerated route:

• Investment of 750,000 euros
• Residency status for 12 months
• Due diligence check

Additionally, to obtain residency status, it is necessary to rent accommodation, pay a government contribution, and make a charitable contribution.

If purchasing real estate for an amount starting from 300,000 euros, the government contribution is reduced.

Obtaining Maltese citizenship through investments requires significant financial outlays; however, this process is faster compared to other EU countries such as Portugal and Greece.

Malta also offers new citizens attractive benefits, such as favorable taxation and a high-quality healthcare system.
