FinanceMalta, the public-private partnership set up to promote Malta’s financial services sector, are attending the largest global residency conference in the world at the Madinat Jumeirah Mina A’Salam Hotel, Dubai. FinanceMalta is one of the sponsors of this event.

FinanceMalta’s delegation to Dubai, which includes the FinanceMalta chairman Kenneth Farrugia, lawyer Max Ganado, and accountant John Huber will be highlighting the attractiveness of  Malta as a domicile for High Net Worth Individuals to relocate to Malta as well as offering details on the newly updated Permanent Residency Programme. Delegates for the event will include professional experts such as private client advisors, immigration lawyers, wealth planners, private bankers, family office managers, tax advisors and other specialists who will be advising their clients on relocation. These groups of professionals, according to the FinanceMalta chairman, are “the exact group of people we are trying to educate and inform about the Malta proposition”.

Malta is considered by the Dubai event organiser Henley & Partners as one of the most attractive locations in Europe for residence. For non-Maltese persons there is the possibility of acquiring residence status through two efficient programmes available to EU and non-EU nationals. A residence permit entitles its holder to reside permanently in Malta with the freedom to come and go any time. A resident enjoys a beneficial tax status while at the same time benefiting from Malta’s wide network of double taxation treaties.

Most of the 200 plus expected delegates attending the Henley & Partners’ 6th Global Residence & Citizenship Conference, including High Net Worth and Ultra High Net Worth individuals who wish to relocate to a new home for business or personal reasons, will be able to learn more about the jurisdiction’s core offering on the Malta stand and will have an opportunity to learn about the domiciles’ economy and Mediterranean lifestyle, a key component of the mix that attracts people to relocate to the Maltese islands, and in particular Gozo which has in recent years become ever more popular.
