Located in the central Mediterranean, adjacent to Italy and across the sea from Sicily, Malta is known as the "Switzerland of Southern Europe" and the "Back Garden of Europe," and has been repeatedly named one of the world's most livable countries. Since the passage of its immigration act on August 25, 2015, Malta has attracted widespread attention from global investors. The new Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP) launched in 2021, with simplified application conditions, reduced investment requirements, and easier procedures, has further fueled the popularity of this program in the European investment immigration market! So, who is the Malta Permanent Residence Programme really suitable for? Below, WorldWay will take you through it!


1

Those who want to use Malta as a springboard

When it comes to immigration, in addition to traditional major immigration countries, some "short, flat, and fast" light immigration programs are also favored by many investors due to their unique advantages. Among them, the Malta Permanent Residence Programme, with its low investment amount and fast approval speed, has no requirements for education, age, or language, and no residency requirements. It grants permanent residence in one step. Furthermore, after obtaining the permanent residence card, applicants only need to renew it every 5 years to maintain their permanent resident status, which is highly recognized and sought after by the market. Therefore, for those who want to quickly obtain overseas status, the Malta Permanent Residence Programme is an excellent springboard.

Those who want a high-quality language education environment

The official language of Malta is English. It follows the traditional British education system, offering authentic British-style education and an immersive English environment, making it one of the few English-speaking countries in Europe. Malta adopts a "2+X" multilingual teaching approach; in addition to English and Maltese as compulsory subjects, students can also choose to study other European languages according to their interests. Malta has a high standard of education with advanced teaching facilities, adopting internationally recognized curriculum and examination systems that can seamlessly connect with world-renowned universities in the UK, the US, and beyond. With Malta permanent resident status, enrollment in public schools is free, and costs for private schools are also economical. In addition, with Malta permanent resident status, there is an opportunity to apply for prestigious domestic universities as an overseas Chinese student.

Families who want to immigrate with parents and grandparents

According to surveys, retirement is one of the important motivations for investors to choose immigration. As a rising star in European immigration, Malta has become a retirement destination in the eyes of many high-net-worth individuals due to its perfect and mature pension security system and livable living environment. The Malta Permanent Residence Programme allows for "one application, four generations of immigration," enabling the inclusion of children, parents, and the grandparents of both the husband and wife. With this advantage, it better satisfies the wish for four generations of the family to enjoy happiness together. As a famous tourist destination, Malta has a beautiful environment and a leisurely life, which is very suitable for retirement. In the "World Health System Ranking" released by the World Health Organization, Malta ranks in the top five, and in terms of the quality of life for the elderly over 65 in European countries, Malta ranks in the top four.

Those who want to do business in a country with tax incentives

Holding Malta permanent resident status allows you to enjoy many of Malta's preferential tax policies. In Malta, you can enjoy low taxes, with corporate income tax as low as 5%, and no inheritance tax, no real estate tax, no gift tax, etc. In addition, Malta is a non-global tax country and does not implement double taxation rules. For those who start a business in Malta, Malta not only has favorable tax policies to support tax exemptions, but also allows them to enjoy the benefits of the EU Customs Union and EU trade preferential subsidies.

Those who want to possess a high-value status

Malta is known as a "four-in-one" country because it holds four statuses: an EU member state, a Schengen country, a Eurozone country, and a Commonwealth country, which makes the value of Malta permanent resident status self-evident. Investors who obtain Malta permanent resident status can not only become residents of a four-in-one country, but also travel freely through 26 Schengen countries and obtain rich benefits, bringing multiple conveniences to the lives of themselves and their families.


Immigrating to Malta not only allows you to reap the benefits of a "four-in-one" country, but also meets the needs of children's education, medical care, retirement, and residence, which can be described as killing many birds with one stone! Currently, investors can immigrate to Malta with four generations of their family through the Malta Permanent Residence Programme with an investment starting from only 60,000 euros, obtaining Malta permanent resident status in one step! Interested investors should grasp the dividend period of the new policy, apply early, and benefit early!
