Malta citizens can benefit from a wide range of world-class social services, including free education and healthcare. Because Malta is a member of the European Union (EU), a passport from Malta conveys rights and privileges similar to the passports of Germany, France, or any other EU country. As such, Malta passport holders may live, work or study in any country belonging to the European Union.
International business executives, investors, VIPs as well as affluent citizens worldwide consider Malta citizenship a powerful asset and safety net should the living conditions at home become unfavorable, or to obtain a prestigious second passport to facilitate international travel. Because Malta allows dual citizenship, most applicants retain the citizenship of their home country in addition to receiving a second passport from Malta (EU).
LIVE, WORK, STUDY, OR RETIRE IN ANY OF THE EU COUNTRIES
The Malta Citizenship by Naturalisation for Exceptional Services by Direct Investment Regulation provides for affluent persons of impeccable standing and repute, including their families, to receive Maltese residency and citizenship on the basis of an investment in Malta. Once Malta citizenship is granted, the applicant may live, work, study, or retire in any of the member countries of the European Union.
Applicants are not required to continuously live in Malta before or after citizenship approval.
VISA FREE TRAVEL TO OVER 180 COUNTRIES, INCLUDING THE USA
Malta citizenship offers full European Union benefits, including Schengen borderless travel and a United States visa waiver. This means visa-free travel to more than 180 countries in the world, including the USA, Canada, Middle East, Africa, Asia, and most countries in North, Central and South America.
A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE FAMILY
Malta is a safe country that offers a low cost of living index. Clean air, property rights, and freedom of speech are enjoyed by all. Multiple cultures live side by side in peace and harmony. The country has long been a vacation spot for Europeans and high net worth individuals who flock to the island for its sunny and warm climate year-round. Malta offers a modern infrastructure ranging from reliable phone and internet service to secure banking to well-established air and sea routes connecting the island to the European mainland and international destinations.
A BETTER EDUCATION FOR THE APPLICANT’S CHILDREN
Because of the country's history as a former British colony the Maltese school system reflects the British structure. There are two school categories: state schools and private schools. State schools are free to all students (including free transportation and free books), while private schools such as international schools charge tuition fees. Attending the renowned University of Malta for an undergraduate or graduate/post-graduate degree is free for Malta citizens and their children.
