Malta ~ Global Residency Scheme

Malta ~ Global Residency Program

Time to Permanent Residency: 5 Years ~ Time to Citizenship: 5 Years

Launched in 2013 under the Immigration Act, the Malta Global Residence Program allows non-EU/EEA/Switzerland nationals and their dependents (spouse, children under 26 and parents) to settle in Malta and be subject to an advantageous tax regime.

To be eligible for the program you must not hold a residency permit in Malta under another Program. The permit must be renewed every year, provided that requirements are still met. You must have enough income to support yourself and your dependents, though you may apply for a work permit if you wish to work in Malta. You will be required to purchase a residential property with a value of at least €275,000, if located in Malta, or €220,000 if located in Gozo or in the South of Malta. The property cannot be leased to a third party if you hold the residence permit under this scheme.

Alternatively, instead of purchasing a property, you may rent a property in Malta, with a minimum annual rent of €9,600 if in Malta, or €8,750 if in Gozo or in the South of Malta. Under this program, you may benefit from an advantageous tax regime, where income is taxed on a remittance basis at a flat rate of 15%. To qualify for this tax incentive, you must not be tax resident abroad (e.g. stay more than 182 days in another country) and pay a minimum tax amount of €15,000.
