Forgotten Maltese Roots: Exploring Maltese Citizenship by Descent

For generations, Maltese families have settled across the world, carrying with them their traditions, heritage and connection to Malta. Today, many of their descendants may have a pathway to Maltese citizenship through their family ancestry.

However, eligibility is not always straightforward. Factors such as family history, dates of birth, previous citizenship status and supporting documentation can determine which legal provisions apply.

In our latest insight, Sharon Sammut, explores the different routes to Maltese citizenship by descent, common misconceptions and the importance of tracing family records.
