Hassle-free travel. Favourable trade. Better quality of life. It\u2019s no surprise that you\u2019re thinking about second citizenship in Europe. But with several European programmes to choose from, how do you know you\u2019re making the right decision?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where we come in.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at two of the strongest citizenship-by-investment locations in Europe and the EU \u2013 Cyprus and Malta. Here, we look at the Cyprus and the Maltese Passport and Citizenship Program. Here\u2019s how the two stack up.<\/p>\n

Global mobility<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s reported that 15 of the 20 most desirable second citizenships are European. That\u2019s based on many factors but global travel is a common denominator. And both Malta and Cyprus are in the EU, which gives them added clout.<\/p>\n

So they\u2019re both pretty fantastic \u2013 but let\u2019s look at each. Cypriot citizens can travel to 150 countries<\/a> on visa-free or visa-on-arrival terms in 2018, making it the 13th<\/sup> strongest in the world when it comes to \u2018Passport Power\u2019 ranking. That\u2019s a considerable improvement for most people.<\/p>\n

But Malta goes even further. If you gain a Maltese passport through the Maltese Passport and Citizenship Program you can travel to 156 countries on visa-free or visa-on-arrival terms, making it the joint 7th<\/sup> strongest passport in the world in 2018.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be honest though. The difference between 150 and 156 is nominal if your current passport is limited below the 100-something mark \u2013 which more than half the countries in the world are. In either case, these passports make a massive difference to your personal and professional freedom.<\/p>\n

Speed and simplicity<\/h2>\n

The Cypriot citizenship-by-investment programme is undeniably the fastest route into Europe. You\u2019ll get your permanent residency card within three to four weeks, then permanent citizenship and your new passport within around six months.<\/p>\n

The application process is simple too. There are transparent, objective rules that govern acceptance \u2013 you simply need to apply, invest, and wait for your new passport to arrive.<\/p>\n

By contrast, the Maltese programmes take a bit longer. The Maltese Passport and Citizenship Program takes around one year before you have your second passport. Saying that, the programme gives you Schengen Residence status for a year before your passport arrives, and you\u2019re eligible from your application date. So although you don\u2019t have the complete package for a year, you do have freedom to travel across the Schengen zone within a very short timeframe.<\/p>\n

Tax considerations<\/h2>\n

While the Caribbean is the classic tax haven, both Cyprus and Malta stack up nicely.<\/p>\n

Cyprus is known for its highly favourable tax rates. The country has one of the lowest rates of corporation tax in Europe, at 12.5%, and non-domiciled residents only pay income tax on income coming from Cyprus. There are also various exemptions on offer including capital gains, foreign exchange gains and inheritance tax.<\/p>\n

Malta also taxes based on domicile and residence rather than citizenship, so like Cyprus you\u2019re not considered tax resident in Malta unless you reside on the islands for more than 183 days per year. Maltese residents aren\u2019t subject to tax on foreign source income unless remitted to Malta, and aren\u2019t subject to any foreign-source capital gains whether remitted or not.<\/p>\n

Companies in Malta are taxed at a flat rate of 35% but a refund system means the effective tax rate is 0% to 10%. You might also qualify separately for tax incentives under the Maltese Global Residency Programme, which gives you taxation at a flat rate of 15% on remitted income. Malta also has double tax treaties with more than 60 countries, so you can avoid paying tax twice. Note though, there is a minimum tax liability per family of EUR 15,000 per year.<\/p>\n

In either case you could be looking at significant wealth protection compared to your home nation.<\/p>\n

Lifestyle<\/h2>\n

Tax and travel are big reasons to consider second citizenship, but many other investors plan to relocate and embrace a totally new lifestyle. For some, better quality of life means total transformation \u2013 whiling away their days on a Caribbean beach. For others, it means a less dramatic \u2013 but still life-changing \u2013 shift to somewhere with better infrastructure, education, medical care or personal rights.<\/p>\n

If that\u2019s you, both Cyprus and Malta could suit you. Both are culturally rich, with a beautiful Mediterranean climate. Crime in both is very low \u2013 Cyprus is the 23rd<\/sup> safest country in the world, while Malta is 25th<\/sup>. Both have good infrastructure, and as a citizen of either you could also live, work and study anywhere else in the EU \u2013 fantastic for your children.<\/p>\n

Malta\u2019s official languages are Maltese and English, and Italian is widely spoken. Maltese has very similar roots to Arabic, thanks to the island\u2019s 9th<\/sup> to 13th<\/sup> century Arab inhabitants.<\/p>\n

The official languages of Cyprus are Greek and Turkish. Over 75% of the population also speaks English, and French, German, Armenian, Arabic and Romani are common as well.<\/p>\n

Overall, both are very popular relocation destinations with thriving expat communities.<\/p>\n

Investment criteria<\/h2>\n

Both Malta and Cyprus have real estate investment options, which most investors prefer because it represents a tangible asset in addition to citizenship.<\/p>\n

For the Maltese Passport and Citizenship Program, your investment is divided into three parts, plus fees. To gain Maltese citizenship through the programme, you have to contribute EUR 650,000 into Malta, plus EUR 25,000 per child or spouse and EUR 50,000 per other dependent. Then you have to invest into property \u2013 either EUR 350,000 to buy, or a rental contract for EUR 16,000 per year for five years. Finally, you invest EUR 150,000 into government-approved bonds for five years. So you\u2019re looking at a total of around EUR 1.2M to gain citizenship.<\/p>\n

Cyprus stacks up similarly, with total investment starting from EUR 2M. This is made up of investment into property, or 2.5M of which 2M will be invested into a business and EUR 500,000 into property. Then you\u2019ve got nominal professional and legal fees on top.<\/p>\n

None of the three are cheap, admittedly. Second citizenship \u2013 especially second citizenship in Europe \u2013 is a luxury for those with means. But when you consider all you get for your investment, and that the majority of your investment is refundable or held in an owned asset, the cost seems very reasonable.<\/p>\n

What now?<\/h2>\n

Hopefully you\u2019ve now got a clearer sense of whether Cyprus or Malta would best fit your needs (and if not, get in touch and one of our team can help you decide). So what now? Let\u2019s have a quick look at the process involved.<\/p>\n

Both of the programmes are simple, but there is the odd hoop to jump through. In both cases, you\u2019ll have to pass due diligence checks before investment. You\u2019ll also be subject to background and criminal record checks once you apply, and the Cypriot programme asks that you\u2019ve never had property frozen in the EU.<\/p>\n

In both cases, you\u2019ll have to pass due diligence checks before investment.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On top of this, the Maltese Passport and Citizenship Program specifically states you must be in good health \u2013 meaning you don\u2019t suffer from any contagious disease or any condition that could burden the health system. The programme also has an unusual \u2018genuine link\u2019 clause, whereby you must show you have a genuine personal connection with Malta. This is a one-year \u2018residence requirement\u2019, or other proposed social, philanthropic, commercial or personal link that your second citizenship advisor can help you define.<\/p>\n

Overall, the programmes are straightforward. In our experience, the majority of investors have little trouble and pre-screening diligence checks ensure you\u2019re never unduly risking your time and investment.<\/p>\n

Small differences; big returns<\/h2>\n

There are small differences between the Cyprus and Malta citizenship-by-investment programmes, but both countries offer an incredibly good deal. While the price-tag isn\u2019t insignificant, the returns on your investment make both nations an exceptional choice if you want to travel more freely, break into the EU or embrace a new lifestyle.<\/p>\n
