Malta - Digital Nomad Visa Program
Malta has recently introduced a Digital Nomad Visa program that allows remote workers to live and work in Malta for up to one year. The visa program is aimed at non-EU Nationals and is designed to attract digital nomads and remote workers who can work remotely from anywhere in the world.
To be eligible for the Digital Nomad Visa program in Malta, applicants must meet the following requirements:
- Must work remotely for a company or provide freelance services to clients outside of Malta.
- Must have a minimum monthly income threshold of €2,700 gross of tax.
- Must have a valid health insurance policy that covers them while in Malta.
- Must provide a clean criminal record certificate from their country of origin or residence.
- Must provide evidence of accommodation in Malta.
Once approved, Digital Nomad Visa holders can live and work in Malta for up to one year. The visa is renewable on an annual basis at the discretion of the Resident Malta Agency. It is important to note that the visa does not provide work authorization in Malta, and visa holders are not allowed to work for companies in Malta. It also provides visa free access to the Schengen area.
