The complete picture. Before you talk to anyone who profits from your decision.

What investment migration firms won't tell you before you commit.

If you have spoken to an investment migration firm and left the conversation with more questions than you arrived with, that is not a coincidence.

Everyone who finds this page has already noticed the same thing. Every source they consulted was either compromised by provider relationships, optimistic about timelines and costs, or written for industry insiders rather than the people making the decision.

Investment migration firms have a structural conflict of interest. They make money when you complete an application, not when you make the right decision. The information they share reflects that.

Lantern was built for the gap between what you can find and what you actually need to know. One report. One program. Everything honest.

What’s inside

Full timeline, start to citizenship.
Every stage of the Malta Citizenship by Merit process, with realistic durations based on direct experience, not the optimistic estimates firms use in sales conversations.
Complete cost breakdown.
Government fees, contribution requirements, due diligence costs, legal fees, and the additional costs that are rarely itemized upfront.
What can go wrong.
Applications have been rejected, contributions delayed, and timelines extended by years because of issues that were entirely predictable. This section covers every failure point, what triggers it, and what to do before you start.
What to ask any firm before you engage.
Most applicants do not know what they do not know before their first firm conversation. These are the questions that expose the difference between firms with genuine processing experience and those running on reputation alone.
How to evaluate providers independently.
What performance data actually exists, where to find it, and how to interpret it without relying on the firms themselves.
Program stability and political risk.
The current state of Malta’s program, what has changed in recent years, and what signals to monitor.

This report is written for someone who could, after reading it, navigate this process independently if they chose to. Most won’t want to. But they will know exactly what to expect and exactly what to ask.

Who this is for

This report is for someone who is seriously considering Malta Citizenship by Merit and wants a complete, unconflicted picture of what the process actually involves before they speak to any firm or commit to any path.

It is not for someone looking for a referral, a firm recommendation, or a shortcut. Lantern does not refer clients to providers and does not have commercial relationships with any firm in the industry.

About Lantern

Lantern is produced by a small team with direct professional experience inside the investment migration industry. Not as observers - as practitioners who have seen how firms operate, what clients are told, and where the gaps between the two consistently appear.

Lantern has no affiliate relationships, no sponsored content, and no commercial arrangements with any program, government, or service provider. It earns money in exactly one way: when someone buys a report.

That structure is not a marketing position. It is the only arrangement under which honest, useful information about this industry can be published.

The gaps this report identifies were confirmed in conversations with independent wealth advisors who work with clients navigating this decision. None of them have a commercial relationship with Lantern.

The report is available now.
