Preface:
Can you believe it?
There’s a developed country practically overflowing with Chinese people.
In a country with a population of just over 500,000, nearly 10,000 Chinese have successfully obtained permanent residency.
Simply put, this means one in every 50 local residents is Chinese.
Even more astonishingly, in this country, Chinese immigrants make up a staggering 87%, a proportion that stands out among many other countries of immigration.
And this country, so popular with Chinese people, is none other than Malta, an island nation nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean, covering only 316 square kilometers.
So, how much do you know about Malta?
Why do so many Chinese people choose to immigrate to this small country?
What kind of country is Malta?
Malta, one of Europe’s smallest developed countries, is known as the “Singapore of Europe,” boasting a rapidly developing economy.
Despite its small size and high population density, Malta boasts a strong employment environment, with an unemployment rate of 3.2%, well below the EU average.
Though Malta’s territory is small, it can be explored in a single day. Its advantageous geographical location offers convenient access to other European countries.
Malta’s picturesque scenery, with its charming coastline and rich historical and cultural heritage, has attracted numerous immigrants and tourists.
Malta boasts numerous famous attractions, including the capital, Valletta, the Megalithic Temples, Sliema, the Gigantia Temple, and the Blue Window, each exuding its own unique charm.
In its foreign relations, Malta has always maintained a neutral stance and has maintained a tradition of friendly exchanges with China.
Since the establishment of diplomatic ties between Malta and China on January 31, 1972, the two countries have collaborated for over half a century, maintaining a close and friendly cooperative relationship.
Malta has established an exchange association dedicated to promoting Chinese culture and a Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic, providing authentic TCM treatment services to local residents.
Furthermore, China has assisted in the construction of a Chinese-style garden in Malta, further strengthening the friendship between the two countries.
In short, Malta is undoubtedly a friendly and livable immigration destination for Chinese people.
What are the advantages of Malta immigration?
01 Strong Identity Advantages
Malta is the world’s only country that is a member of the European Union, the Schengen Area, the Eurozone, and the Commonwealth.
This means that with Maltese citizenship, you can enjoy the benefits of EU citizenship, travel freely across all 29 Schengen countries, use the euro as a currency, and enjoy benefits across Commonwealth countries.
This unique advantage of Maltese citizenship is truly impressive, making it a highly sought-after destination for high-net-worth individuals.
02 High-Quality Educational Resources
As a member of the Commonwealth, Malta adheres to the traditional British education system, facilitating international student access and providing a springboard to prestigious universities in Europe and the United States.
Furthermore, English is the official language of Malta, facilitating student integration and eliminating the need to worry about not knowing a minor language.
Most importantly, with Maltese citizenship, you can also take the Overseas Chinese Students’ Entrance Examination (OCE) – a simple exam with limited competition, making admission to prestigious universities in mainland China, including 985 and 211, easy.
03 Good Business Environment
Malta offers advantages such as a stable political environment, a developed economy, comprehensive legal framework, and favorable tax conditions, all of which are conducive to business activities.
Furthermore, the Maltese government has made efforts to attract foreign investment, providing corresponding benefits and security.
Immigration to Malta facilitates business expansion in Europe, facilitates global asset allocation, and diversifies asset risks.
04 One applicant, four generations of immigration
This is also a unique advantage of Malta’s immigration. With just one principal applicant, all four generations of the family can obtain immigration status simultaneously, including the applicant’s spouse, children, parents, and grandparents.
This is undoubtedly a great benefit for those who want to live with four generations.
No need to worry about what to do with the elderly family members after you immigrate. You can immigrate to Malta together, making it easier to care for them and enjoy the joy of family life.
