On local time April 29, the European Court of Justice made a major ruling: it determined that the investment citizenship program implemented by Malta violated EU law and demanded that Malta shut down the program!

The court explicitly pointed out: nations have the right to decide for themselves the conditions for granting citizenship, but this power must comply with EU law; EU citizenship is an important cornerstone of European integration and must be built on a real and solid connection between the applicant and the member state; Malta's investment citizenship program has money transactions as the core condition and lacks a real sense of belonging and loyalty, violating the basic values of the EU; this transaction-based way of granting citizenship undermines the mutual trust between member states and hurts the stability of the entire EU system.

 

Ultimately, the court ruled that Malta's 2020 version of the investment citizenship program violated EU law. It is foreseeable that this ruling will not only bring impact to the Malta investment citizenship program but will also have a far-reaching impact on other EU member states. Worldway will continue to pay attention and share with you immediately.

 

Currently, the tightening or even closing of immigration policies in many European countries has become the general trend. The best time to immigrate is always now. For friends who have dreams and aspirations of immigrating to Europe, this moment is definitely not a time for hesitation, but a critical moment when decisive action needs to be taken. At present, Portugal is a good choice for immigrating to Europe.
