Malta joined the European Union in 2004 and is also a member of the Schengen Area and the Commonwealth. The country is ideally located between Europe and other continents and serves as an ideal bridge from where to conduct business.  
Malta offers a permanent residence programme known as the Malta Permanent Residency Programme (MPRP).
