Before you apply

  • Tax is not a flat 10% from day one: the first 12 months are exempt, then 10%.
  • Renewal requires you to have spent at least 5 months in Malta the previous year.
  • Savings do not count. The income must be active and recurring.
  • Health insurance minimum is €100,000 — far above the usual €30,000.
