What investment option or options qualify?

The official application form lists as eligibility bases a foreign direct investment meeting section 5 of the Corporate Resident Visa Regulation and a Government-approved investment; the official page also lists maintaining a USD 250,000 fixed deposit in a Maldives-licensed bank for five years.

Limits of the record
  • A third option, a fixed deposit in a Maldives-licensed bank, is also listed in the sources; its only English citations are held by the certified R2 and R5 answers of this via, so it is not re-cited here.

What official minimum amount, tier or threshold applies to each relevant option?

The official page lists three qualifying options: investing at least USD 1,000,000 in the Maldives within the preceding three financial years; maintaining a USD 250,000 fixed deposit in a Maldives-licensed bank for five years; or investing at least USD 250,000 in a Government-approved project. The official source does not state government fees.

How long must the investment be maintained and what continuing ownership, investment or physical-presence conditions are important?

For the fixed-deposit option the deposit of USD 250,000 must be maintained in a Maldives-licensed bank for 5 years. The oneGov renewal guidance repeats the eligibility criteria for renewal and requires investment details with the renewal (e.g. latest audited financial statements or a bank fixed-deposit certificate). No maintenance period is stated for the direct-investment option or the Government-approved project option, and no physical-presence condition is stated.

  • No physical-presence condition is stated.

Which family members can be included where officially stated, and what broad residence/work rights result?

A family member of an existing Corporate Resident Visa holder can apply on the same form, stating the relationship and attaching supporting documents issued by the competent authority. The official source does not define which relationships qualify or state the family member's residence and work rights.

Limits of the record
  • Which relationships qualify is not defined in the English text.
  • The family member's residence and work rights are not stated.

What status is obtained, how is it renewed, what longer-term residence/citizenship direction is officially stated, and what happens to the investment when relevant?

The official form supports both a new Corporate Resident Visa application and renewal. The fixed-deposit option is tied to a five-year deposit. The official materials do not state a citizenship route, another long-term progression, or exit treatment for the other investment options.

  • Citizenship, other long-term progression and exit treatment for the non-deposit options are not stated.
