ABOUT MALTA

Malta is an archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea, located 80 kilometers south of Italy. Malta is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations and the United Nations. It joined the European Union in 2004, became part of the Schengen Area in 2007, and part of the eurozone in 2008. Malta is a democratic state and enjoys a stable government, it consistently registers high ratings from the major credit rating agencies, while unemployment percentages are amongst the lowest in Europe. Malta is the perfect place for residents to live safely and securely, among a local population with a reputation for being friendly and hospitable. The cost of living is moderate and its small size makes distances negligible.

THE MALTA RESIDENCE AND VISA PROGRAM

The geopolitical instability across the world is spurring an ever-increasing number of individuals to search beyond their nation’s borders in order to seek better opportunities for themselves and their families. They not only seek safety and stability for themselves, their spouses, and dependents. They look for educational opportunities, a healthier lifestyle, greater mobility, as well as a chance to do business that ensures their family’s wealth in the long term.

Malta and Gozo lie strategically in the middle of the Mediterranean. A small island state with a democratic and stable government, a robust economy, an eco-system of business opportunities, hospitable people, and an all-year-round mild climate makes it the perfect place for families to live in.
