Malta Ordinary Residence Programme

The Maltese Ordinary Residence Programme is currently available to all EU nationals interested in transferring their current tax residence to Malta. This programme applies to individuals with a stable financial position that have purchased, or are currently renting property in Malta. In this case, these individuals are able to take up residency in Malta.

Ordinary residence permit holders are therefore allowed to take up physical residence in Malta, with the possibility of taking up employment and doing business in Malta.

Eligibility

The following conditions allow for eligibility of the Malta Ordinary Residence:

Applicants should demonstrate financial independent, without the need of being subjected to the complex means eligibility testing system.
Must be EU and EEA nationals, as well as nationals of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. (Non-EU nationals will be able to submit application at the discretion of Local Authorities)
Must be able to provide evidence of a local residential address (by either purchasing or renting property in Malta)
