Malta

Malta has been a member of the EU since 2004 and of the Schengen Area since 2007.

Malta offers South African investors a very stable political and economic climate, high levels of education and healthcare, and a fantastic Mediterranean lifestyle.

As a testament to Malta’s economic stability, it is the only residency programme that can be financed. Investors have the option of either leasing or buying property, so it is a great alternative for investors who would prefer not to have their capital tied up in property.

Malta Individual Investor Programme (MIIP) has reached its quota and we look forward to their new programme being announced in the coming months.
