  • Must purchase or rent property in Malta or Gozo of a value not less than €275,000 if the property is purchased in Malta, or €250,000 if the property is purchased in Gozo. Alternatively, the beneficiary may rent a property in Malta for an annual rent of not less than €9,600 if the property is situated in Malta or €8,750 if the property is situated in Gozo; and

  • The pension remitted to Malta must consist of not less than 75% of the beneficiary's chargeable income; and

  • Be in possession of a health insurance policy; and

  • Cannot be domiciled in Malta and should not have any intention of so establishing his/her domicile in Malta within a period of 5 years; and

  • Must reside in Malta for a minimum of 450 days in a five-year period; and
