How can I apply for residency in Malta successfully with a criminal conviction from many years ago?

I was convicted of defacing public property when I was 18 (I'm now 42) and I wonder if this would be an issue if I decide to apply for residency.

Generally, a minor criminal offence is not an impediment to apply for Maltese residency as long as you are not an individual who at any time was found guilty for criminal offence punishable with more than one year of imprisonment. However, the agency examines each application on its own merit, taking into consideration all facts and circumstances of the case.
