The Malta Residence and Visa Programme Regulations 2015, has
been launched by the Government of Malta through a legal notice.
The scope of this new set of regulations is to attract more quality
investors who wish to acquire residence in Malta. The regulations
are predicted to enhance commercial activities, businesses and
wealth.
This process shall provide beneficiaries and their dependents to
reside in Malta and travel within the Schengen area without the
need of a Visa. The dependents of the beneficiary include spouses,
children under the age of eighteen, unmarried children between 18
and 26 years of age who are economically dependent on the
beneficiary, children with disability who are fully supported by
the applicant, and parents or grand-parents. These regulations
target third country nationals, meaning that applicants should be
citizens of a country not within the European Union, EEA or
Switzerland.
