Malta is one of the most attractive locations in Europe for private residence. Non-Maltese people can acquire a residency in Malta through the country’s Global Residence Programme which is aimed at people who wish to buy or rent property in Malta. The minimum requirements under this programme are to either purchase property worth €220,000 to €275,000 or pay an annual rent of €8,750 to €9,600, depending on the location. A residence permit in Malta entitles its holder to permanently reside in Malta, and gives him/her the freedom to come and go any time. The permanent resident is also entitled to a privileged tax status and also benefits from Malta’s broad network of Double Taxation Treaties. Another advantage of Maltese permanent residency is that the resident permit holder does not spend any minimum time actually residing in Malta, as long as he/she abides by the rules of the permit.
