Investors are always looking for value in investment migration programmes. Whether you opt for Residency by Investment (RBI) or Citizenship by Investment (CBI), you want to ensure you’re getting bang for your buck. In this article, we’ll answer the following question: is Malta worth it?
One of Malta’s USPs is that it offers both the Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP) and Maltese Exceptional Investor Naturalization (MEIN). MPRP gives you residency for a minimum investment of €150,000. MEIN, on the other hand, requires an investment of least €600,000 to guarantee you citizenship.
MPRP is one of the most reasonable Residency by Investment programmes in Europe, so it compares favourably to the Greek, Portuguese, and Spanish Golden Visas. Like these residencies, it offers visa-free access to Schengen Area.
While MEIN’s price tag is higher than Caribbean CBI Programmes, it’s a premier European citizenship that allows you to live, work, and study across Europe. In addition, you become eligible to apply for a Maltese passport that allows you to travel without a visa to 190 countries worldwide.
Whether you choose MRPR or MEIN, Malta itself is a popular country for expats as English is one of two official languages. A state education system that insists classes are taught in both English and Maltese means your children will settle in easier. For a more exclusively English schooling, you can enrol them in one of a number of international schools.
The warm climate is another positive. Malta’s average annual temperature is 22°C (76°F), using Weather2Travel’s monthly figures as a basis for calculation. You’ll quickly get used to eating your meals al fresco, whether you prepare them at home or dine out.
We’ve established that MPRP is more affordable than other European RBI programmes while offering the same benefits of visa-free access to the Schengen Area. MEIN is even more alluring, opening up a route to a European passport. Add to that, the status of the English language and welcoming weather, and we’re sure you agree that the answer to the question is yes.
We can help you choose between MPRP and MEIN. That’s because we’re investment migration experts who will then guide you every step of the way of the application process. So, don’t delay and contact RIF Trust today.
