Welcome to the Forum, why have you chosen Malta?

Please can you explain this - I can also manage to transfer between 鈧�30,000 to 鈧�50,000 in a bank in Malta to show self sufficiency.

Hello Mike, basically i am invested in crypto and have six figure portfolio at the moment and i can cash it out to my bank account in Malta to show self sufficiency.
I also have around 鈧�18000 in my savings account in my home country which i can move around any time..

Malta 馃嚥馃嚬

English speaking country
Beautiful weather聽 (i have lived in Ireland for 2 years and didn't like the weather at all)
Health care facilities
Peaceful and safe country
Geographical location

Hello and welcome to the forum.

To obtain a residence permit on the basis of economic self-sufficiency, you would need to be eligible for the Global Residence Programme, the Malta Residence and Visa Programme, Malta Retirement Programme or Acquisition of Citizenship.

Further details can be found here.



As a third country national, you may also apply for a single permit if you are employed in Malta.

Alternatively, you may apply for a Nomad Residence Permit if

a) you work for an employer that is registered in a foreign country and you have a contract of work with that employer;
b) you conduct business activity for a company that is registered in a foreign country and of which you are a partner/shareholder; or
c) you offer freelance or consulting services mostly to clients, whose permanent establishments are in a
foreign country, and with whom you have contracts.

Nomad Residence Permit applicants must reach a monthly income threshold of EUR 2,700 gross of tax, in addition to a 20% of the median wage for each family member.

Would you be interested in investing in a Recruitment Agency here in Malta

Evreham thanks for your comment..聽 I have read online that non-EU national can also apply for self Sufficient Residence permit in Malta 馃嚥馃嚬

Here is the link :



I was wondering if someone has actually managed to get it.

@Mike ... Sorry i have no idea how it works,聽 聽basically i don't want to invest big amounts into anything besides cryptocurrencies..聽 聽

Thats why i was looking for a more feasible option to move to Europe.
I was also looking at different options like Portugal but language is a turn off and also Portuguese embassy in Pakistan is currently not accepting d7 visa applications.
My first priority still remains Malta 馃嚥馃嚬

Yes, exactly. To apply for a permit on the basis of self sufficiency, you would need to qualify for one of the following programmes

Global Residence Programme


Malta Residence and Visa Programme


Malta Retirement Programme


Acquisition of Citizenship


The link I provided on my previous post was to the Malta Government Agency responsible for citizens鈥� identity management and the implementation of migration processes. The links listed above are also official Malta Government departments.

The website you have been referring to

may not be providing the correct up to date information I'm afraid. It lists "Malta鈥檚 self-sufficiency residency permit for passive income" with a requirement of "Proof of 鈧�50,000 in savings OR a regular income of 鈧�370 per month, for a single applicant, 鈧�436 for a couple, plus 鈧�33 for each dependent child)"

This type of permit is not one that I have heard of previously, but an income requirement of 鈧�370 per month is unrealistically low considering the legal minimum monthly wage in Malta is 鈧�784.68

Perhaps you could click the book a consultation聽 button with Digital 脡migr茅 to find out more about this programme?

It is possible for a TCN to obtain ordinary residency by self sufficiency on a yearly basis.

we tried to go the self sufficiency route however in the last two years things have changed drastically.
