Acquisition Of Maltese Citizenship Through Marriage - Q & AQuestion No 21I am a British citizen who married a citizen of Malta thirteen years ago and I have been settled in Malta ever since. Unfortunately after eight years of marriage my husband and I separated. I have custody of our two children and have been in employment for the last two years. Can I acquire Maltese citizenship and hold also my British citizenship? Yes of course. The citizenship law, as amended, now stipulates that as long as a couple would have lived together for at least five years after marriage, the foreign spouse is entitled to be registered as a citizen of Malta, even if the couple are now separated.
