You must be a third-country national who can work remotely using telecommunications, and either work for an employer registered abroad, run a foreign-registered company you part-own, or offer freelance/consulting services to clients abroad.
Assemble the last three months' bank statements, an employment contract or service contracts showing remote work for foreign clients, a CV, a valid travel document, health insurance, and a police conduct certificate.
Make the application through the online application system. A receipt of application is issued with instructions to pay a €300 non-refundable administrative fee per applicant by bank transfer.
Processing takes about 30 working days from receipt of funds. On approval in principle you submit accommodation and health-insurance proof within 30 days; after final approval and biometrics in Malta, the residence card is issued in three to four weeks.
