Setup

Relocation to Malta

Moving to Malta raises questions - legal, tax-related, and deeply practical ones. We guide you through the entire process: from preparation and dealing with authorities to finding a home and settling in.

Relocation to Malta – What you need to know

When you move your centre of life to Malta, you're taking on much more than a change of address. Residence permits, tax numbers, social security, bank accounts, housing, insurance - the list is long, the processes are unfamiliar, and Maltese authorities operate by their own rules. Without proper guidance, you can easily lose weeks to waiting times and frustration.

Our relocation service takes that complexity off your plate. We coordinate every step, handle all communication with the authorities, and make sure nothing slips through the cracks - no deadline missed, no form overlooked, no registration forgotten. This applies to individuals, families, and employees being transferred to Malta by their employer.

We also think beyond the paperwork. Your UK tax position - the Temporary Non-Residence rule, the post-2025 non-dom changes, the IHT long-term resident tail - needs to be understood before you leave, not after. We address all of this upfront so your relocation is sound not just organisationally, but legally and fiscally too.

I am just a small fry but still I urgently needed advice on my complicated, unique and tricky situation between Malta, Germany, and the UK. Promptly I received a very professional and friendly consultation with Mr Wickinghoff, which helped me on track. I would have been much better off had I consulted Dr. Werner & Partners Services earlier avoiding common traps. Highly recommend!
