Immigrant life in Malta

First, the application conditions for immigration to Malta

The main way to immigrate to Malta is the national debt immigration project. Applicants need to invest 250,000 euros in Malta and meet other conditions before they can obtain permanent residency in Malta. After immigrating to Malta, applicants can work or do business there, enjoy the same welfare system as local residents in education and medical care, and also study and work in other Schengen countries. The following are the specific application conditions for Maltese government bond immigrants:

1. The applicant has purchased more than 250,000 euros of compliant national debt or bonds and held them for more than 5 years;

2. The applicant has purchased or leased a property that meets the requirements of the Maltese government and has held it for more than 5 years;

1) Purchase properties with a price of more than 320,000 euros in Malta and more than 27 euros in Gozo Island or southern Malta;

2) Lease the property in Malta at a price of 654.38+200,000 euros/year or above, or lease the property in Gozo Island or southern Malta at a price of 654.38+200,000 euros/year or above;

3. The principal applicant 18 years old or above, and the deputy applicants may include: minor children, unmarried children from 18 to 26 years old who are not financially independent, and parents and grandparents who are financially dependent on the principal applicant;

4. A statement that the annual income exceeds 654.38 million euros or the fixed assets exceed 500,000 euros can be provided;

5. Having purchased medical insurance of not less than 30,000 euros;

If the application is successful, Maltese national debt immigrants can obtain the permanent residence in the country in one step, and the permanent residence card can be renewed every five years, and there is no need to continue to hold national debt after five years.

2. What is life like when you immigrate to Malta?

To tell the truth, people who have just immigrated to Malta will feel very unaccustomed, because the pace of life here is one word, slow! This Maltese slow life can really drive the fast-paced China people crazy. Not only the pace of life, but every aspect of Maltese life is completely different from that of China:

1, typical Mediterranean climate

Accustomed to the hot summer and cold winter climate in China, you will feel extremely comfortable in Malta. Because Malta has a Mediterranean climate, it will not be very cold in winter, with an average of 15 degrees, and it will not be very hot in summer, with a maximum of 30 degrees. Many China people will travel to Malta in July and August and spend their holidays in the sun, which is much more comfortable than "resisting Japan" at home. The only drawback is that the sun in Malta is poisonous, so you must pay attention to sun protection when you live there. After all, there are 300 sunny days a year, and you can sunbathe in the sea anytime and anywhere.

2. irresistible food and beauty

Malta has many local specialties, such as flower soup. Cut all kinds of flowers into powder, add fruit and wine, and boil into flower soup, which tastes fresh and unique. The local food is mainly stew, and people will stew different vegetables and fruits together. The more distinctive ones are Maltese baked buns, Maltese fish cakes, dates and so on, which are simply a paradise for eating.

Besides delicious food, Malta is also a place full of beautiful scenery. From white reefs to desert landscapes, countless people come here to enjoy the clearest sea. Tired of seeing the natural scenery, in some streets of Valletta and other cities, you can always go back to the era of 1950, vintage cocktails, old posters during World War II, almost all urban buildings are yellow, and the streets are fluctuating. Touching those historic stone walls is like crossing back to chivalry.

3. Low price

In fact, the price in Malta is similar to that in Beijing, and the income level is similar. Everything in the supermarket is very affordable, such as 25 cents for a kilogram of salt and 75 cents for a liter of milk. Sometimes, if you are lucky, you can buy one and get one free when you have a discount, and you can keep it fresh. Because Malta is a coastal city, vegetables and fruits are imported, and the price will be a little more expensive than other European countries, but seafood is really fresh and affordable. If you eat in an ordinary restaurant outside, the average person is 7- 10 euros, and the high-end restaurant is 20-30 euros, which is much cheaper than the first-tier cities in China.

4. Convenient transportation

Malta is very small, so there are no subways, trams and light rails. You can only go out by bus and taxi. Bus starts at Euro0 1.5 in winter and Euro2 in summer. Taxi starts at Euro0/0, but local drivers often don't hit the meter, and some will ask you for a tip. Be sure to negotiate the price with the driver before getting on the bus.

In addition, it is convenient to go to other European countries from Malta. Most of them have direct flights, which can basically reach any European country in three hours, such as the flights of low-cost airlines such as Ryan, Flynn and Yi Jie. If you book in advance, the price is quite favorable, and traveling around the world is not a dream.

Although the immigrant life in Malta is not perfect, it is also close to heaven. People who have been there say that immigrants should never go to Malta, which actually reveals their love and yearning for Malta. No matter who goes to this perfect country, they will be unable to extricate themselves.
