Maltese Citizenship by Descent - How long have you been waiting? by Jazzopaul
Hi All, I was hoping top use this thread to give people who have applied for Maltese Citizenship by descent a place to post their experiences, and in particular how long you have been waiting since you first applied, or how long it took you to ...
Eddie has once again given excellent advice. I went back eight generations, to a first birth around 1770, and could have gone back further. I then tracked generations and documents across three countries. Malta is actually pretty lenient on ... Read More

Just keeping this thread alive… for those in the UK, the Dublin route for a passport seems to have closed off due to a change in personnel, but London is now issuing passport appointments and citizenship appointments again, so don’t ... Read More
Citizenship by marriage by julieta71
Hi! I have recently adquired my Maltese citizenship by descent and so did my daughter. My husband has applied for his citizenship by marriage in November. Any recent experiences on how long does it take to finish the process?
They seem to be approved within about three months at the moment, although it can take a little longer to be notified. Do email them - they are responsive and helpful. When your husband applied, did he also sign the additional oath that is not ... Read More

Allegedly still processing 2020 applications, both for citizenship and for passports. I have a hunch they’re not doing anything at all. As you know Dublin and Brussels are both options if you’re willing to travel. Read More
Name Change in Malta by Maltravers2011
I am retired. I was granted Maltese citizenship 2-3 years back as my mother was from Malta. I have yet to register my birth, but I also have to seek permission to have my name changed from that in my birth certificate. Whereas all of my current ...
Just an additional datapoint - I follows Eddie’s introduction to a Maltese lawyer who helped deal with a relative’s name change. It took about five weeks all told, very simple. Read More
Recommender for a passport application by RobbieSanders
Hi, I'm a Brit (and also a US national) living in the UK. I recently obtained Maltese citizenship by descent and looking through the procedure for getting a first Maltese passport. I see that a recommender is needed. The only official ...
From my understanding, it can be any professional with a rubber stamp - from the country you're applying from. As you applied in Ireland, the recommender can be Irish or Commonwealth. But if you apply in Malta, the recommender has to be ... Read More

Then yes, it is possible, but there are some pieces missing from Form B - specifically the Oath - that you will need to obtain from the embassy before applying. You’ll be best off asking them directly. If you have citizenship, there’s ... Read More

Julieta, that depends on where you are, how long you’ve been married and perhaps how he obtained his citizenship. Can you tell us more? Read More

Congratulations Eddie, how long did it take you in the end - less than a couple of years I think? You’ve also been very helpful to me and others on resolving a name change issue. I’m in Valetta at the moment and it’s a warm and ... Read More

Going to Dublin is an excellent suggestion that I might follow up. Was January the earliest they had an appointment? Good luck with the session. Read More

You can register the birth at the same time as submitting your passport application - at least that is the case in London and (judging by Eddie B-A's comments) Dublin. Read More

I applied in Malta in June 2021 - was ready in September but only informed me mid October. Took 3 months. Super fast! I have registered my birth so next week I am applying for passport! Does anyone know if the recommender has to be Maltese - or can ... Read More

Been keeping an eye on this thread for a while - great to see the process seems to have sped up for some. Anyone know how long the London embassy is taking to give a verdict about citizenship back? Still waiting! GrazziDo you mean you have ... Read More

Please let me know if that works with the Maltese passport agency. I moved to Germany a few months before the pandemic hit so I know no one that fit the recommender here.You'll have to ask the embassy - it does vary by location. In the UK it ... Read More

Robbie, Presuming you’re applying in the UK, you’ll find the information you need on the High Commission website. They don’t need to be a Maltese resident if you apply in London: ... Read More
