Welcome to the Forum, you may be able to get residency but not citizenship.

The only way to receive it is if your ancestors came from here or if you have a lot of money.

Malta is different from other EU countries. However, here assimilation is appreciated too. This means when you know the Maltese language well, are being married to a Maltese woman and having been converted to the Roman catholic church your chances to get the Maltese passport will improve. Recently I read a woman from Nigeria got the Maltese passport after  being married to a Maltese man and living in this country for 28 years.
