Double Citizenship
Malta has
recently introduced the concept of allowing double citizenship with other
countries. Double citizenship is however only open to persons who
are citizens of another country and are:
a)
persons born in Malta before 21September 1964 where at least one of the
parents was also born in Malta;
b)
persons born in Malta after 21 September 1964 provided that at birth
at least one of the parents was a citizen of Malta;
c)
persons born outside Malta before the 21 September 1964 whose father was
born in Malta and at least one of the father's parents (one of the
paternal grand parents) was also born in Malta;
d)
persons born outside Malta after 21 September 1964 where either one of the
parents, at the time of your birth was a citizen of Malta;
e) any
person who was at any time a citizen of Malta and who, by having resided
in another country for an aggregate period of at least six years, acquired
the citizenship of the foreign country.
If you
wish to apply for double citizenship, we will send you the necessary
application forms for you to fill in, sign and fax or mail back to us,
along with the necessary documents mentioned in the form. If you do
not have the documents, please provide as much information as possible and
we will research the public records and obtain the documents for you.
We will
process your application with the relevant Government Departments and
follow it through until its approval. We would like to advise
persons contacting us that we do not offer a free information service in
this regard and prior to providing detailed advice we would require a
retainer agreement to be signed.
