Living and travelling visa-free in Europe
The Malta Permanent Residence Programme was launched in 2015. In 2021, the rules were updated. The Malta Permanent Residence Programme Regulations, L.N. 121 of 2021, provide the new terms and conditions.
Only investors from countries outside the European Economic Community (EEC) can participate in the Malta Permanent Residence Programme. A spouse, children, parents and grandparents can get the status with the investor.
Applicants fulfil several investment conditions. They buy or rent real estate, pay government fees and make a donation. They also confirm that they have assets of at least €500,000, where €150,000 are liquid financial assets.
Malta permanent residence is granted for life. However, the permanent residence card must be renewed every five years, much less frequently than temporary residence permits.
Visa-free travel to the Schengen countries
Maltese permanent residents can visit other Schengen countries without visas. The visa-free stay is up to 90 out of 180 days.
Living, working and doing business in Malta
nvestors get permanent residence valid for life. They can move to Malta, register a company, find a job and become a tax resident of the country.
Access to European healthcare and education
Maltese permanent residents don’t need visas for medical treatment in Maltese clinics or study in local schools and universities. They can also access clinics and educational institutions in other Schengen countries: a visa-free visit can last for up to 90 days.
“Safe haven” in Malta
Investors aren’t obliged to live in Malta to get or maintain a permanent residence. They can create a safe haven: buy or rent housing and open a bank account to transfer capital in the country. If there are any issues in the country of residence, investors can quickly move to Malta with their families.
Investors fulfil several investment conditions. They buy or rent a residential property, pay administrative and state fees, and donate to a Maltese organisation. All the requirements are mandatory; the only choice is renting or purchasing real estate.
The main applicant must have at least €500,000 in available assets, including at least €150,000 of liquid financial assets, such as deposits, stocks or bonds. The investor confirms ownership of these assets every year during the first five years after getting permanent residence.
