Pathway overview

For remote workers with foreign-source income who work for employers or clients outside Malta.

Verified via WebSearch, cross-referenced across multiple independent sources, including the programme's own FAQ site: you need a minimum gross annual income of €42,000 (€3,500/month) from remote work, and that income must come entirely from foreign sources — no employment with Maltese employers or clients, and no local business activity. You must also show you'll have at least 5 months of that income (€17,500) after applying, and an additional 20% of the Maltese median wage for each dependent — disclosed here, not separately modeled. The permit is valid for 1 year, renewable up to 3 times (4 years total).
