Residence Permit

A citizen of the EU/EEA has the right to enter, remain and reside in Malta. Where a person intends to reside in Malta for a period longer than 3 months (including where such person has been granted a work permit or has taken up activities in Malta as a self-employed person), he or she is obliged to apply for a residence permit. The procedure for applying for a Residence Permit includes completing an application form and filing it personally, together with the relevant supporting documentation, with the Principal Immigration Officer in Malta

An individual holding a Residence Permit is taxed on income arising or remitted to Malta at the normal progressive income tax rates (current maximum rate is 35%) applicable to every Maltese resident person on his or her chargeable income.
