    Internal due diligence
    1 day

    Due Diligence is a critical step in the application process for citizenship of Malta. It depends on her whether the government agencies of Malta will approve the investor’s application as a candidate for citizenship. Therefore, the lawyer studies the investor’s documents and warns of possible risks.

    Lawyers prepare a list of documents and help the investor to draw them up. They compile a wealth history, translate documents into English, certify copies with a notary, fill out application forms.
