Company setup

Domestic companies and IBCs are common in international structures.

SRL (Limited Liability) and SA (Joint Stock) structures are available; entity setup is well-supported by local partners. Substance and reporting requirements should be confirmed at setup.

Maltese companies are commonly used for trading, IP holding, and gaming / fintech structures. Substance, accounting, and tax-refund mechanisms are well established but require careful structuring.

Family

Family reunification is supported on most routes. Schooling and healthcare are accessible to legal residents.
