Malta's investment immigration program is renowned as one of the most prestigious in the world. With such high prestige comes a hefty price tag, including:
3-year naturalization option:
- €610,000 (4.5 million RMB) donation
- €700,000 (5.2 million RMB) property purchase OR rental property at minimum €16,000 (120,000 RMB) annually for 5 years
1-year naturalization option:
- €760,000 (5.6 million RMB) donation
- €700,000 (5.2 million RMB) property purchase OR rental property at minimum €16,000 (120,000 RMB) annually for 5 years
So, do Maltese passport holders face hefty tax implications? Unfortunately, during the mandatory residence period for obtaining citizenship, the tax burden is indeed substantial.
