New Year New Programs
2021 brings two new exciting residence paths that we can assist you with. The programs intend to attract anyone, who seek a safe haven in these uncertain times and have a reasonable net capital in their possession.
The Naturalisation for Exceptional Services by Direct Investment replaces the original Malta Individual Investor Programme (IIP). It may grant citizenship by naturalization to foreign individuals and their families who contribute to the country’s economic development. The guidelines are out, and the main changes are; the introduction of the five-year ‘monitoring’ of new citizens, the minimum 12 months actual residence requirement and the minister’s discretion to overlook unfulfilled criteria has been removed from the regulations. There is also a cap of 1,500 applicants and not more than 400 each year. Read more about the Naturalisation for Exceptional Services by Direct Investment.
Another program is about to launch soon, the Malta Permanent Residence Program. It is set to replace the Malta Residence and Visa Program (MRVP) after it receives the green light from Parliament. This is generally one of the best alternative to the citizenship program for someone who actually intends to live in Malta permanently. According to recent press releases, there won’t be any bonds investment requirement. However, there will be an increase in the required contribution and in the property purchase minimum. The property rental minimum rates remain the same. Get to know more about the Malta Permanent Residence Program.
Why Malta?
It’s time to rethink your plans to live in a safe place where you and your family’s future is secure. For non-EU citizens both program is ideal to obtain the right for residence. Malta performed exceptionally well during the crisis and it is turning to be one of the countries that ticks most of the boxes. Located at a strategic crossroad between Europe and Africa being within three hours direct flight from major European capitals Malta is one of the fastest growing financial services centres with English as an official language they call it the Singapore of Europe for a reason. Beside high standard of living, superbly sunny weather, attractive beaches and thriving nightlife, it also has an educated, dedicated and multi-lingual workforce and incentives to attract foreign professionals. All that accompanied with political stability, solid and reliable Maltese banks and an extremely favourable tax system.
