Most probably her age will be calculated on the date when the approval in principal and request for payment of the main contribution are issued. If she just turned 17, you have all chances to pay 25,000 euro only if you start the process ASAP. From the moment you submit a pack of the documents for citizenship, Identity Malta has 120 days to consider it and issue the approval in principal. If Identity Malta has a question and you need to answer it, this 120-day period will be on hold until the receipt of your answer. Normally the process from submission of the pack for citizenship until obtaining the approval in principal/request for payment of the main contribution takes about five to six months.
