Malta has two most attractive
residency schemes which are probably the most advantageous schemes
available throughout the European Union for persons wishing to change their tax residence. Moving
your residence from a high-tax country to Malta could make you huge
savings on your tax liabilities. The Malta Residence Schemes
are open to European Union nationals and even non-EU
nationals without distinction and the Scheme of your choice will depend
