Malta has become a full member of the European Union on 1 May, 2004. During pre-accession negotiations, Malta successfully reached an agreement with the E.U. regarding the acquisition of immovable property. A consolidated version of the legislation as amended is on the web.

The CTD Department of the IRD has launched its first web-site which provides information and services on the Acquisition of Immovable Property (AIP) in Malta by non-residents. If you are a prospective applicant, read more about the conditions for acquiring immovable property, and download the application forms. If you have already submitted your application, use the site to view the progress and submit any queries or comments.
