Apart from beautiful weather, a comfortable lifestyle and numerous investment possibilities, the Maltese islands also offer residents or those with Maltese citizenship an easy way to access the rest of the European Union and the Schengen Area.
Midway between Europe and North Africa, Malta’s prime location in the Mediterranean Sea has made it strategically significant throughout history acting as both a major international shipping hub and a key meeting point for industries around the world: from the financial sector to iGaming, blockchain and cryptocurrencies markets.
Maltese, English and even Italian is widely spoken across the islands and with regular, direct flights available to most European and North African destinations aboard a variety of well-known airlines. Malta offers an easy and efficient way to travel overseas for both work and leisure.
An agreement between the EU’s 26 countries affords residents the guarantee of free movement between all member states. Malta became a part of the Schengen Zone in 2007 and Uniform Residency Permits allows holders to travel throughout the Schengen Zone without a visa for at least three months. These are available to all permanent residents of Malta, including Non-EU nationals.
By relocating to Malta, you therefore have access not only to the many attractive opportunities available on the island itself, but also to those available in the rest of Europe. Your FSPC lead contact can guide you as to how you can make the most of Malta’s strong position in the European Union, according to your individual needs and goals while on the island.
