Would you like to live in Malta?
I like Switzerland better, but wouldn't mind Malta one bit.
Yes, I'm happily moving back there but it has problems. Getting a bank account was a nightmare, although I could settle all bills in cash and could easily cash cheques for high value banknotes without a local bank account.
The quality of practice in the main hospital is often very poor but the scope of care in the private sector is limited. The is a culture within the health service of apathy and willful neglect that I haven't seen in northern European hospitals despite the difficulties they face in meeting demands.
It is a lovely country to live in with plenty to see and do within a short distance. It's also well connected compared to other micro states.
I would love to pay it a visit, but long stay, I don't think so.
I would live malta but I am unvaccinated and will not be getting it. Can I still become a citizen?
Malta is under medical tyranny. Pretty place. Bad authoritarian government.
My wife is from Malta and I love it although it certainly is not everybody's cup of tea. The island is small, and crowded and quite old fashioned in some ways although that is changing (personally I would prefer it stay as it is rather than become an imitation of every other Western country).
No offense to your wife, there are exceptions and I met a few, but … Anyone with an European/Western mindset will find Malta unbearable…. First of all it’s grey listed and it’s financial system and banking services are absolutely terrible and frustrating.
1.complete lack of law enforcement (or random enforcement), where law applies depending on who you are in Malta being the developers the top tier
2. absolute lack of work ethics (95% are not reliable nor trustworthy, everyone is late and no one keeps promises).
3. no excellence mentality … if something barely works it’s good enough,
4. Piles of smelly garbage bags in the street where they quickly rotten helped by the sun and humidity making narrow dirty sidewalks unwalkable
5. 80%of locals are cheeky, rude, extremely loud and won’t hesitate to screw you up as soon as you turn back
6. Corruption at all levels from the plumbers to the highest businesses man or politicians who don’t hesitate to murder a journalist (yes in Europe’s XXI century…)
7. Strictest COVID restrictions in all Europe
8. No rivers no lakes no mountains nor paths to hike and get lost, nowhere to find peace.
9. Nasty aggressive and totally rude driving habits by nearly ALL locals.
10. Point 9 together with third world country roads full of bumps and potholes - Forget It about using a bicycle
11. Massive traffic jams every 300 meters - forget about enjoying a car
12. The worst public transport system I’ve ever experienced - frustrating
And I can go on and on
Malta is a place to spend the minimum time possible at an expat shelter such as Tigne Point, just to benefit from the non-dom tax regime and run away the rest of the year. I think an expats end up here when alternatives have not been properly considered and proof of this is 90% expats don’t last longer than 3 years.
@@sir_crab2080 you are making me nostalgic, I need to go back.
Unfortunately as I am not vaccinated this is not possible for now (as you alluded to in your very detailed comment).
@@sir_crab2080 this comment made me realise how grateful i am to live here
I had high expectations for Malta but it wasn't a good fit for my lifestyle once I moved there (in 2013). It's not for everyone.

Andrew,your presentation is so excellent. The background is beautiful and your so well chosen words,that need to be deeply understood for a sharp mind. Well done.
The first thing I want to know these days is, 'What are their Covid policies?'
The answer to that has opened my eyes to places I never thought about before, and ruled out many others.
It has become one of my top criteria as well.
Me too. What have you seen as far as COVID resistant countries?
@@richardblasco7791 Egypt, Armenia, Albania, Serbia, Sweden, maybe Mexico. Some US states were awesome (unfortunately for those who want to be out of the US, it seems like the US as a whole was pretty good)
@@richardblasco7791. Albania and Serbia. Mexico still seems a good option.

OUTSTANDING information.
Spot on as usual.
Thank you for your insights about Malta... Take care and stay healthy.
Unless you have 100 mil, this price tag for insurance is totally out of question. You are better off to combine Carribean citizenship with European golden visa.
Personally I'm a lot more inclined towards the Bulgarian path.
But if you absolutely have to renounce ASAP, the Caribbean Citizenship is definitely the wave
Finally a word on Malta. But you have to hurry as this citizenship for money program might not last much longer.
Surely no one wants to be a citizen of Canada and Australia these days! 😂

Thank you for an accurate, useful summary. Can you advise on in-Malta support to set up a company with mgmt control in Malta?
Can you travel while proces naturalization?
I mean are you should stay entire 1 year in malta for citizenship ?
Could listen to you all day. If you weren't speaking about tax optimization strategies big tv networks would have signed you by now.
There must be some opportunity to make videos, where you visit the locations, meet people with experience and and share your own knowledge.
This guy has a good sized company doing this business.
I am Maltese , we are bilingual, English & Maltese . If you are a citizen you become an EU citizen and also a common wealth citizen.
The country is wonderful in general , nice beaches , modern brands , good food , unique villages , Towns.
However Malta is a bit crowded in some areas and its not cheap moreover on the whole its a bit cheaper than our European neighbours .
Wages are not impressive but there is a strong business culture, so there is people who do well here.
People generally friendly
Nice beaches? They are all overcrowded AF
@@henryf5001 Some are really crowded
@@henryf5001 there are many beaches that are quiet and more known by locals instead of tourists. The rocky beaches tend to be less crowded and are personally my favourite rather than the sandy beaches.
@@rebeccam8119 haha...good joke...Malta has 400.000 inhabitants...should be 100.000 max
@@henryf5001 and what does that have to do with the beaches? A large majority of locals don't ever go to swim. The beaches are usually populated by tourists but as I said these tend to be the sandy beaches

so if I acquired Malta citizenship the 90/180 rule doesn’t apply to me? For example if I wanted to just up and vacation in Sweden for 8 months I could do that? Follow that up with a vacation to another Schengen zone country for 5-6 months with no buffer between trips?

Ireland, England, Australia and Canada are soon going to adopt the American system. It's best to stay away.
Permanent residence in Malta means permanent residency in the EU Schengen area as well, right? Or am I misunderstanding?
Permanent residence is issued on a per-country basis, however once you become a citizen of any EU country, moving to another one is a simple administrative process.
you can live in other Eu countries only for a max of three months.. .. they give a worng picture like you could live anywhere in EU..
@@arcpd123 Once you become a Maltese citizen then you can live in any EU country. It is as simple as going to a police station and registering your new address. The three month limit is just to differentiate between temporary residence (e.g. vacation) and permanent one.

I want to get it as soon as I can earn the required minimum for Citizenship by investment
So, how do I become a citizen of Malta? I got out of this video, it costs $1,000,000, and 18 months of residency. Is this the only way to become a citizen of Malta now?
Not 18 months of residency, 18 months of process.
You will probably have to be in Malta a few times over the course of those 18 months, but it's not measured residence
@bubbajay2342 there's other options. Try to contact me
750k donation is ok. But their screening process is very strict be warned
They need to do that. They face huge amounts of pressure from US, EU, EFTA, OCED etc.
True.
That is also a plus so not everyone who can spend a 1 Mil can gain a passport. Screening is extremely important to choose the right people to obtain a passport.
How about Andorra?

What about taxes? If you plan to live in EU then why bother with Malta if Portugal is cheaper, English?
With the Malta program you have EU citizenship in 18 months. With the Portuguese program, it's at least 5 years. You'd be a resident in the intervening time. So you could travel the EU easily but you couldn't, for example, rent an apartment or put your kids in school in Paris, since you're a Malta/Portuguese Resident and not a French Resident.
I chose the Portuguese Golden Visa, as I felt that was fine for me, but with the processing time it took to get my visa and then what it will take again for citizenship at the end, I've realized it's actually more of a 7-8 year process from start to finish. So, even for me who doesn't have kids yet, if I had a kid next year and wanted them to go to French schools from the beginning, that'd be tough.
How can Portugal beat zero tax on capital gains ? 🤣
Another thing is you must pass a Portuguese language competency test before you obtain Portugal citizenship, which can be an issue for non-speakers. Therefore, if you’re only fluent in English, Malta citizenship is the way to go.

Become a student so how to apply and if age is not of to be student so? Than
I think I should renew my Maltese passport.......
I moved to Malta a few years ago and I can say that it was a paradise, rent cost next to nothing and the cost of food and drinks was very affordable.
But that is not the Malta of today, the property market had a hyper inflation.
I personally know someone that bought their apartment for 70.000 euros about 6 years ago, the same property is now worth about 200.000 euros.
The average rental cost in Malta has become about the same as the average wage, so if you would want to rent in Malta you’ll be forced to have roommates.
For some reason food has also become a lot more expensive, a meal in a restaurant that used to cost 8 euros about 2 years ago, would now cost you over 13 euros.
Malta also ignores many food safety regulations, so if you move here food poisoning can become a common occurrence.
Because Malta is greylisted, the banks here are very intrusive and will interrogate you randomly for doing transactions they deem “suspicious “. I know someone that had their bank account terminated because they bought a second hand car, and the bank found it too “high risk” to deal with it.
A Maltese citizenship is also not that easy to get, I’m European and married to someone from Malta, but I will still have to wait 5 year’s until I can apply for citizenship.
Another issue with Malta is that it’s overcrowded, in rush hour all the busses are full and they won’t let you on.
The traffic and queues here can also be very frustrating.
For now I wouldn’t move to Malta as a foreigner, there’s many countries where the quality of life is just better.
None of what you’ve written matters to a high-worth individual, which this video and the citizenship program is targeted to.
Thank you for this detailed answer...really enlightening to those who want to Malta on a work permit and live the life of a middle class person.
Everything you listed here can be said about the US. Skyrocking real estate prices, food prices, etc. Except, Malta hasn't had 200 mass shootings in the last 8 months, so I would prefer Malta.
@@sirgalahad1470 a property of half a million dollars can get you a nice suburban house in the US, in Malta you can get an apartment…
@@sirgalahad1470 Malta also has a gun culture by the way, 1 in 3 people here has a firearm.
I guess there aren’t school shootings, but certain areas have definitely become very unsafe
Does it help to prove Maltese ancestry?
Brilliant, conservative and Christian country. Absolutely love it, love the national anthem hymn. Received my citzenship through my beautiful Australian Maltese wife and also successfully acquired citizenship for our 6x kids in 2016.
Bro is there any other ways of getting a Maltese citizenship without forking out a Million dollars. Majority of people don’t have that kind of money
Be a EU citizen already and live in Malta for 5 years straight, rental and cost of living in Malta would be very expensive too, you should be earning close to €90.000 after tax per year.
The only reason you need is that it will finally give you a valid reason to learn Maltese, the only Semitic language written with the Latin alphabet.

One of the reasons I won't give up my dutch citizenship is access to the EU
Found out last year that I can get my Dutch citizenship :) Working on it right now. My mom was Dutch.
What’s wrong with a Dutch citizenship ?
I am a Maltese Citizen but living in India. 6 months ago I got a new ATM card but because I changed my phone number 3 years ago I could not activate my new card even after calling the bank 11 times .I also sent a notarized letter to them saying I changed my phone number. Till now they haven't taken any action.
The same problem I solved with my UK bank with a phone call in 5 minutes. I am really disappointed with this bank Bank of Valletta Malta.
They want me to come to the bank spending 1000 euros just to tell them I have a new phone number.
I am sure a bank in Georgia or Bulgaria would give better service!

Malta tourist website:
1. Tourist who are unvaccinated will undergo a mandatory quarantine at their own expense.
2. You will need to wear a mask outdoors unless you have received a booster shot.
3. Vaccination cards must be shown upon entree to the list below - virtually all businesses.
4. Vaccine cards must be presented by women that are up to 16 weeks pregnant.
Are you kidding?
People need to do some research and quit basing their aspirations to leave the US on Twitter comments. If you move to a foreign country outside the US, you will be at the mercy of their governing standards. Not to mention in a poor position should the global supply chain falter.
Considering the situation of the US Dollar, Crude Oil, supply chains, and tensions between the Federation of Russia and China. I would deem it unwise to remove yourself from the US.
Exactly Vladimir, you need to do some research as the points you mentioned above are no longer required ;)
So if these Malta website points are outdated, where should one look now?
So tiny and so boring...
I pity your comment.
It's a white country. That may be attractive to some people.
For now anyway...

Instead of spending $1M for a Malta citizenship program, why not just join a raft out of Morocco and cross with the rest of the illegal immigrants?? Super cheap.
