Your Plan B: Expand Your Horizons, Protect Your Assets, Stay Flexible

Malta Permanent Residence (MPRP) &

Malta Global Residence (GRP) for UK families & professionals

Protect your family’s well-being with Malta as your short-term, interim, or long-term solution.

For many UK non-domiciled and British families, life in the United Kingdom offers much — global connections, excellent education, and opportunity. Yet growing uncertainty around long-term stability and tax planning is prompting families to consider their options.

With the abolition of the non-domicile regime, increasing costs of living, safety concerns, and wider pressures, more families are exploring a reliable Plan B — or even a new Plan A.

Malta provides exactly that: a safe, English-speaking EU base with visa-free Schengen access, world-class education and healthcare, and a welcoming Mediterranean lifestyle. It offers stability and flexibility, while allowing you to maintain your business and connections in the UK if you wish.

Why UK Families Are Looking at Malta?

Many successful families in the UK are now adding a base in Europe to their plans — some do so not to leave the UK, yet, but to expand possibilities for work, lifestyle, education, and wealth planning and to have a base in a Mediterranean island with with over 300 sunny days a year! Malta has around 3,000 hours of sunshine per year (one of the highest in Europe) compared to an average of approximately 1,350-1,400 hours of sunshine annually in the UK.

With the UK abolishing the non-domicile regime, alongside living costs, safety concerns, and other factors, many non-domiciled families in the UK – and even British families – are reconsidering where to base themselves.

Malta provides a compelling solution: a familiar English-speaking environment, an efficient tax regime for non-domiciled individuals, and the ability to retain permitted ties with the UK. The island’s world-class schools, healthcare, and Mediterranean lifestyle make it an attractive short-term safety net or a long-term or permanent family hub. For many, Malta is the natural next step when looking for stability, tax efficiency, and security without moving too far from home.

Having a stable, safe, respected base Europe offers peace of mind — and Malta provides exactly that.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our UK Clients

Do I have to move to Malta full-time?

No. There is no minimum stay required to maintain your residency.

Is Malta safe for families?

Malta is ranked among the safest countries in the world — with an excellent healthcare system, schools, and a friendly English-speaking community.

How do taxes work?

The MPRP doesn’t carry any tax grants and/or incentives. The applicable Maltese statutory tax provisions apply to this status.

Nonetheless as a general principle, the basic statutory provisions lay down that Maltese tax for non-Maltese-domiciled individuals is imposed on:

  1. all chargeable income and capital gains arising in Malta, and on chargeable income arising outside Malta that is remitted to Malta in the case of an individual who is resident in Malta, and
  2. only chargeable income and capital gains arising in Malta in the case of an individual who is not resident in Malta.
Can I include my children and parents in the application?

Yes. Your spouse or partner, dependent children up to 29 years old, and even financially dependent parents and grandparents can be included under MPRP. While under the GRP program, the main applicant can include his/her spouse/partner, dependent children up to 25, parents & grandparents, siblings, household staff (conditions apply).

Can I travel freely in Europe with Malta residence?

Yes. MPRP and GRP allow visa-free travel within the Schengen Zone, for up to 90 days in any 180-day period, in addition to an unlimited number of days in Malta.

If you are a holder of a British passport, you already have visa-free access to Schengen countries with the UK passport, for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

Can I apply for Malta citizenship later?

Yes, you may apply for Maltese citizenship by naturalisation after at least 5 years of residence. This must include the last 12 months continuously in Malta, plus 4 additional years spread over the previous 6 years. You must also meet language, good conduct, and residency requirements, but approval is at the Minister’s discretion and not automatic.

Will I be taxed in Malta on income in the UK or elsewhere?

No. Maltese tax for non-Maltese-domiciled individuals is imposed on:

–             all chargeable income and capital gains arising in Malta, and on chargeable income arising outside Malta that is remitted to Malta in the case of an individual who is resident in Malta, and

–             only chargeable income and capital gains arising in Malta in the case of an individual who is not resident in Malta.

Will I need to travel to Malta during the process?

Under the Malta Permanent Residence Program (MPRP) only once — for biometrics. Under the Malta Global Residence Program (GRP) program – twice – for biometrics and to collect residence cards. We handle the rest.

What happens if I spend most of my time outside Malta?

Your residency is still valid as long as you maintain the property and financial requirements.

Can I work or run a business in Malta with residency?

Yes. Both MPRP and GRP give you the right to live in Malta, own or run businesses, and receive dividends. Holders of MPRP and GRP can also obtain an employment licence, as required — subject to a standard review process.
