For Malta Treasury Immigration, after the five-year status expires, does the applicant need to go to Malta in person to apply for card renewal?

Hello, there is no need to go to Malta in person to renew the card. The applicant initially entered three sets of fingerprints at the Malta Identity Bureau, so there is no need to enter Malta to enter the fingerprints again when renewing the card.

After 5 years, the Immigration Bureau requires the applicant to provide two supporting documents. First, according to EU regulations, the applicant needs to provide a real residential address in Malta and record it on the permanent residence card. It can be a self-purchased property or a rented property, and there is no rent requirement; second, the applicant must continue to purchase local medical insurance. If the above two requirements are met, the applicant and his family members who apply at the same time can renew the permanent residence card for 5 years.
