Dependants include the spouse of the applicant or a person having similar status, children of the spouse who are under 18 years of age, or who are younger than 26 but reliant on the applicant; children of the applicant or the spouse who suffer from a disability, as well as parents or grandparents of the spouse who rely on the applicant.

Being a Maltese resident, the beneficiary is entitled to visa-free travel within the Schengen area. Malta is well-connected to all the major business centres in the EU, most of which can be reached in less than 3 hours.

What Malta offers?

Malta has a stable economy and government. It has a low crime-rate and benefits from a pleasant climate, making it ideal for the beneficiary to relocate their family. Moreover the government tirelessly seeks to incentivise investment, particularly in the financial services and the online business industry. English being an official language, it is easier for international businesses to be based on the Island.

Malta also has a rapidly developing IT infrastructure, a highly qualified employment pool, and relatively low labor and business costs.
