Self-employed resident permit by EMX
Hi, I'm a non-EU national (Russian) and I'm considering moving to Malta. I'm a freelance software developer, working remotely for overseas clients, so I can work anywhere with a good Internet connection. There was a post on this forum a couple of ...
Oh yes, I'm well aware of that, but the key word is "plan". I thought Spiridonov was saying it had already become law and I missed it. The article says "in the coming weeks" - and it was 6 months ago. So it looks like Spain is no hurry. According to ... Read More

Spiridonov, I thought it was 10 years residence in Spain to get citizenship? Also, last I heard they're only considering giving residence permits for buying real estate. Has that law been passed? Do you have a link? I'd be interested to read more ... Read More

Ah, that's too bad. I was thinking of naturalising as a Maltese citizen eventually (if things went well and I liked it) which would also make me a citizen of the EU. But if it's that hard in practice, looks like you guys are right and Malta isn't ... Read More

Yes, that's the one - thanks, redmilk. Unfortunately I don't have that kind of cash. (And yes, Russia is definitely a "third country".) Read More

Hi EMX, unless you opt for the HNWI scheme (CIR) your only option is the temporary residencyWell, that is unfortunate. :( I would not qualify for HNWI (at least in its current form) and my goal is ultimately EU citizenship, so temporary residence ... Read More

Yes, I have been looking into Cyprus as well, but there seems to be very little info available on it. I cannot even find a list of the documents or information I'd need to submit to apply for a self-employed permit. Read More
