Launched in 2021, Malta’s Nomad Residence Permit (NRP) offers third country nationals, who can work remotely, the opportunity to reside in Malta.

Governed by the Residency Malta Agency, the Nomad Residence Permit, aims to attract digital nomads who receive their income from outside of Malta and can work irrespective of their physical location. Applicants for the Nomad Residence Permit must be third country nationals, prove that they can work remotely using telecommunications, and earn a minimum gross monthly income of €2,700. In addition, the applicant must also fulfill the following requirements:

• hold a valid property rental or purchase agreement in the applicant’s name; pass a background verification check; and
