An EU/EEA citizen has the right to officially reside in Malta. When an individual intends to reside in Malta for a period longer than three months, he is obliged to apply for the EU Registration Certificate with the Citizenship and Expatriate Affairs Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This also applies to non-EU/EEA citizens.

An EU national shall be allowed to stay in Malta providing that he has enough funds to sustain himself, private or State health cover and a place of residence.

The purchase of a residential property from an EU citizen which decides to transfer his sole residency to Malta has only one restriction. That is for the first 5 years only one property can be purchased unless the property lies in special designated areas. Such resident must pay taxes to the Maltese Government under the normal tax scope just like any other Maltese citizen. Such resident can also work on the island once the EU Registration Certificate and the Tax registration number are issued. No restrictions on the purchase price or the rental price of a property are applicable.
