Crownstone Secures Malta Citizenship And UAE Golden Visa For Relocating Family

Crownstone Advocates has secured Malta citizenship by naturalisation for exceptional services, alongside UAE Golden Visa qualification, for a technology-sector family relocating from outside the European Union. The two applications were run in parallel rather than sequentially, giving the family a coordinated EU and Gulf residency position rather than treating each jurisdiction as a separate, unrelated process.

Malta's citizenship by naturalisation for exceptional services route is a considerably more rigorous process than the country's standard residency programmes, reserved for applicants who meet specific contribution and investment criteria. Running it alongside a UAE Golden Visa application required careful sequencing of documentation and due diligence across both jurisdictions at once, coordinated by our immigration and private client teams working from a single file.

"Families relocating internationally rarely want to think about Malta and the UAE as two separate projects," said Alexander Brown, who advises on immigration matters at the firm. "They want one coordinated plan that gets them settled properly in both places, on a timeline that actually works for their business and their children's schooling."
