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.
