What is the processing time for golden visa applications in Malta these days?

I've heard Malta takes longer to process golden visa applications ever since the EU applied pressure to shut down its program. If one applies today, when can they expect to get a golden visa in their hand?

    The processing time of the Maltese permanent residence program ranges between four to six months. On average, the applicants may become European residents within eight-nine months, from the moment they decide to start the process, that time includes preparation of documentation and review of the application.

    It usually takes around one year. At the moment -- barring any particular issues -- the applicant should have their passport in hand around one year and three months from the initial application.
