Malta Digital Nomad Visa
Remote work is here to stay. More and more companies are allowing their employees to travel and work from anywhere. It is not only companies that are driving this change, but also entrepreneurs and digital nomads who work on their own while traveling.
For all of them, Malta wants to become a haven. With its new “Nomad Residence Permit” visa, anyone who does not belong to an EU country can legally reside and work in Malta.
In this way, Malta joins the list of countries that offer this type of visa for digital nomads or remote workers such as Iceland, Georgia, and Croatia.
