Immigration Law Practice:
The Immigration Act provides for the issuance of residence permits to individuals that apply for retirement, settlement or indefinitestays in Malta.
Upon successfully acquiring a permit to reside in Malta an applicant will be issued with a European e-residence card.
A European e-residence card serves the dual purpose of a residence permit, as well as that of an identification document. The e-residence card is issued by the Department of Citizenship and Expatriate Affairs and is generally renewable an annual basis
