Easier just to get a freelance visa that is available in most countries, move to that country, pay taxes for five years or whatever the requirement is, and then get Citizenship there. Generally, countries want people to be part of their country, not just own property there and come a few weeks a year.
A lawyer at one of the top immigration firms in Malta said it is really 20 years to citizenship. Like Greece for those who aren't ethnically Greek, the law says one thing the reality is quite different.
Oh is that so. That's crazy. Any particular reason that's the case? I would have thought Malta would be good at following the naturalization rules in letter and in spirit.
@@FrozenSkyy It was a "Chetcuti Cauchi Advocates" lawyer while I was considering residency. The Mediterranean culture seems to be more discretionary on immigration. In Greece, Malta and Italy, at least, you might be naturalized on time, or you might not.

Andrew, you have hit a rich vein with Australians. Regardless of whether the government changes next week, many of us have had enough. Secondly, we need to know about extradition not bc we are criminals but bc the federal police 👮♀️ are raiding and incarcerating any dissident behaviour.

Thank you for your outstanding informative content. Regarding Malta’s $100,000 Residency Visa option it appears that with this option the Visa only provides EU Schengen residence or travel for 90 days out of every 180 days. Do you you believe the Visa could piggyback the US Passport giving in essence full time residency available in the EU? ( I assume even with a Malta Visa a US passport would be stamped which would limit overall time in non-Malta counties to the 90 days out of 180 ).
If I go down the MPRP pathway, can I get neutralized after living there for 5 years? I have heard different stories from different agents. Some said it is lawfully possible, but have not seen anyone done it before.
Andrew. Some clarification on Malta PR. Can one join their public healthcare programme (like Portugal) or must one take private heakthcare? Your mention of having to have insurance confuses me. Also, re: Greece and Malta, one cannot work even if granted PR - this is a set back and i believe it's very difficult to get a work permit 8n either as jobs are protected for their citizens... your thoughts would be appreciated
Andrew, you mention Portugal on a regular basis. Why? I ran away from there at my first opportunity: high taxes, low quality public services, horrendous bureaucracy, one of the most backwards economies in Europe. What am I missing here?
It's still one of the most safe countries in the world. And the Portuguese are educated, respectful and friendly towards foreigners and other cultures.
I've worked in the golden visa industry, namely with tax representation. Some Portuguese might come here and say Portugal has nice weather, people are friendly, yada yada but that is almost entirely irrelevant when making a huge investment like the golden visa. Especially nowadays when the regulations have changed and the minimum value of investment has skyrocketed and foreigners cannot buy property in the coastline, aka the most sought after region, for obvious reasons (combating gentrification). All in all, you made a great decision, it's no worth investing in this country. As you said and well, high taxes, mediocre public services and an ever worse bureaucracy, economy not doing well, etc.
if you are starting a crypto business (Blockchain Play to Earn Game) and want to be based where there will be the best taxes for that business where should we look?
But when you say "you can live anywhere in Europe after 5 years" if you moved from the place you had the 5 years in and you want to go somewhere else in the eu don't you have to start over the 5 years. Or you have to keep returning to the original place to live half the year.
You can't live anywhere within the EU before obtaining Maltese citizenship - this is what he means. Also, living in a country for 5 years allows you to apply for citizenship, but that doesn't mean you will get it immediately - my application took 4 years!!
Problem is to find such a country where good to setup business and justice system that protects foreigners. What good is a golden visa and savings if you can't protect yourself legally?
I heard it’s nearly impossible to open a bank account for a foreigner even for resident living in Malta. Can anybody confirm this info. Much appreciate!
This is why many pakistanis and africans there...maybe they can buy all church and transform to mosque for future islamic europe...soo or later syrian and afghanis will be in the luxury villa in the europe...

With respect to Ireland, can a person with British citizenship obtain EU citizenship or residency if the person already owns residential real estate in Dublin?
With a British passport you can simply move to Ireland, live there, and apply for naturalization after 5 years. However, just be mindful that Ireland is not too keen on newly naturalized citizens to then move away from Ireland once you get the Irish passport. If you do, you'll have to make yearly declarations to the Irish authorities about your intention to continue to retain Irish citizenship. I'm not an expert, but I think that's correct. Could someone verify this?
You can move to Ireland for 5 years and then get Irish citizenship. You will need to prove that you were in the country, bills aren't enough. You'll need to show you are actively there so spending in shops etc. show in you bank statements.

EU is dead so why would you join a EU country with GOPE directive imposed by Bruxel. You are not dealing with Malta but with Bruxel for what you will be able to do and how to live. Greenpass etc....
Before you pay some 500 000 euros for a European citizenship, be aware that for the past few months the Euro devaluated to Russian rouble by whopping 28%!
From the Air Canada website: All travellers departing from Canada via air, rail, or cruise ships need to be fully vaccinated. This requirement applies to all travellers aged 12 years plus 4 months and older. This requirement applies to international and domestic departures.
