About Program
Malta offers a unique opportunity for individuals seeking residency through investment, which not only provides a pathway to live in this beautiful Mediterranean island but also grants access to the Schengen region. This is particularly appealing for those who wish to travel freely across Europe. Additionally, Malta boasts an attractive flat tax rate for individuals renting properties, making it a financially viable option for many investors looking to relocate or establish a second home.
