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, despite not being compulsory, makes dealing with the authorities and undertaking administrative formalities much simpler. AE can help applicants achieve this based on a number of grounds.
Insight from AE Business Advisors
How to achieve residency
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
