Inside an SDA, foreign buyers can purchase without restrictions and with no one-property limit. EU citizens face fewer restrictions and can typically buy a primary residence with no permit.

How far is Gżira from Valletta and the airport?
Gżira sits roughly 12 minutes from Valletta by drive and about 20 minutes by car from Malta International Airport, traffic permitting.
Who is Gżira best suited for?
Gżira works best for expats wanting harbour views at lower entry prices than Sliema, buy-to-let investors, young professionals. As with any Maltese locality, the right fit depends on commute patterns, school priorities, and whether the property will be a primary home, second home, or rental investment.
What to know before buying property in Gżira
Practical rules for foreign buyers, local stamp duty bands, and the costs that sit on top of the asking price.
Foreign buyers and AIP
Non-EU citizens generally need an Acquisition of Immovable Property (AIP) permit to buy outside Malta's Special Designated Areas. Government floor prices apply: roughly €295,000 for a house and €175,000 for an apartment. EU citizens can buy a primary residence with no permit. AIP-acquired properties cannot be rented out, so investment buyers should target SDAs.
Stamp duty
The standard residential rate is 5.0%, dropping to 2.5% in Urban Conservation Areas and 2.0% on Gozo. First-time buyers are exempt up to a price ceiling and second-time buyers can claim a refund of duty paid on their previous primary residence.
Special Designated Areas
SDAs are gated developments where non-EU buyers can purchase freely with no permit, no minimum price, and no one-property restriction. Tigné Point, Portomaso, Pendergardens, Fort Cambridge, and Smart City are among the most active SDAs.
Konvenju to deed
A binding promise of sale (konvenju) is signed first, with 20% of the stamp duty and a 10% deposit paid then. The final deed and balance follow within three to six months once searches and any AIP application are cleared.
Do foreign buyers need a permit to buy property in Malta?
Non-EU citizens need an Acquisition of Immovable Property (AIP) permit unless they buy inside a Special Designated Area. The permit fee is €233 and the property must meet a minimum price threshold (currently €295,000 for a house and €175,000 for an apartment). EU citizens, and any non-Maltese resident who has lived in Malta for at least five years, do not need a permit for a primary residence. A key restriction: property acquired under an AIP permit is for personal use only and cannot be rented out.
How much is stamp duty when buying property in Malta?
The headline residential rate is 5.0% of the property value, paid in two instalments (20% at the konvenju, the balance at the final deed). Properties inside an Urban Conservation Area pay a reduced rate of 2.5%. Properties on Gozo pay 2.0%. First-time buyers are exempt on the first €200,000 of the value. A separate Budget 2026 measure exempts the first 750,000 euro for properties built 20+ years ago and vacant for 7+ years, properties in a UCA, or properties built with traditional Maltese features (running through 31 December 2026).
What is a Special Designated Area in Malta?
SDAs are designated zones, typically modern gated developments, where the AIP regime does not apply. Non-EU buyers can purchase as freely as Maltese citizens, with no permit and no minimum price. There is also no limit on the number of properties owned within SDAs. Tigné Point, Fort Cambridge, Portomaso, Pendergardens, Mercury Tower, and Smart City are the highest-profile SDAs.
What costs sit on top of the property price in Malta?
Buyers should budget for stamp duty (rate depends on zone and buyer category), notarial fees of roughly 1% to 2%, searches of around 600 to 800 euro, an AIP permit fee where applicable, and registration. Agency commission in Malta is paid by the seller, not the buyer.
Can foreigners get a Maltese mortgage?
Maltese banks lend to non-residents but typically require a higher deposit (30% to 40%), proof of income in a stable currency, and life cover. Loan-to-value of 80% to 90% is the norm for residents and 60% to 70% for non-residents. Use the Darscover mortgage calculator to model monthly repayments before approaching a bank.
