Although EU passport holders have the right to reside in Malta in light of treaty freedoms afforded by the Union, they must still register their official residency in the country within three months of arrival. The next step is to acquire residency which makes dealing with the authorities and undertaking administrative formalities much simpler.
Insight from AE Business Advisors
How does it work?
EU nationals are free to live and work in all Member States without the requirement of any special permits. However, this right does not automatically bestow residency. There are various options under which a European National may obtain Maltese Residency. These include:
- Economic self sufficiency
- Residency on the basis of employment or self-employment
- Residency for family members of existing residents
- Residency for study purposes
How AE can help?
While the right of EU nationals to reside in Malta is granted by freedom of movement treaties, the official registration is still a bureaucratic process. AE will make the experience easier by handling and filing all the paperwork required to obtain the residency. Our Residency and Immigration Team is fully equipped to assist you in acquiring Maltese residency considering your unique circumstances.
