Yes it changed for the better : we applied for e-residence a few months ago and got it 3/4 weeks later. You can save a lot of time by reading very carefully the guidelines (they're pretty clear) and providing all the relevant documents on your ... Read More

eResidence accepted with shared accommodation? by merlinnu80
Hello everyone! I am planning to move to Malta next month and i'm not sure I understood all the info about e residence. If I'll choose to live in a shared house will it be accepted as proof of address to obtain my eResidence ? Many ...
