MALTA CITIZENSHIP-BY-INVESTMENT – A TIMELESS INVESTMENT WITH HIGH RETURNS

马耳他投资移民—— 超越时间界限的高回报投资

BY / 撰稿人 / KENNETH CAMILLERI
A passport for the Mediterranean island country opens the doorway to much of the world, including educational and employment opportunities in the European Union.

Unlike the finite nature of luxury goods, acquiring another passport is undeniably an investment for the ages. Such an action cannot really be overestimated, as the true worth of this investment can span across several generations.

Indeed, while the major part of the investment in obtaining a Maltese passport can be returned in five years, its benefits can be passed on to future descendants endlessly.
The Malta Individual Investor Programme( MIIP), launched in 2014, has already made a reputation for itself. It has since received some 1,000 successful applications and has, in turn, granted foreign investors increased mobility, educational opportunities for children and a safe haven where they can escape from political or economic hardship.
But, the question still stands: Are these factors worth a 1 million euros investment? How can each of the benefits of the Maltese passport contribute to returning the investment in the long term.
WHO ACQUIRES A MALTESE PASSPORT?
Imagine a classic family unit: a loving husband, wife and two children. Imagine a successful and seasoned 40-something businessman, simultaneously acting as the head of this family. Imagine the wife; she would go on to search for housing and establish the dynamics for her family’ s living situation.
这个地中海岛国颁发的签证为投资者打开了通往 世界的大门, 提供了欧盟各国丰富的教育和工作机 会 。
不同于奢侈品投资的短期性, 第二护照无疑是一个 具有长期价值的投资选择 。 毫不夸张地讲, 这类投 资的真正价值可以延续几代人 。 为取得马耳他护照 而进行的大部分投资可以在五年内收回, 而它为家 庭带来的利好则能够无限地传递给子孙后代 。
马耳他个人投资者计划( MIIP) 于 2014 年建立, 已 经为大量投资者所熟知 。 自推出以来, 项目已经收 到了约 1000 份成功申请, 为外国投资人带来了极高 的出行灵活性, 为他们的子女提供了良好的教育机 会, 同时为那些躲避本国动荡政治经济环境的外国 居民提供了安全的避风港 。
但是, 这些优势是否与 100 万欧元的投资相匹配? 马 耳他护照如何给投资人带来长远回报?
哪类人群对马耳他护照有需求?
有这样的一个典型的四口之家: 慈爱的丈夫, 美丽 的妻子和两个孩子, 一家之主的丈夫是一位 40 多岁 的成功商人, 妻子维持着家庭日常生活的正常运转, 两个孩子年龄在 10 到 25 岁之间, 目前正在知名私立 学校或英国 、 美国及瑞士的大学接受教育 。
这个家庭中的四口人居住在不同的国家, 他们很可 能每年都要去蓝色海岸晒日光浴, 在高雪维尔地区 滑雪, 在大本钟雄浑的报时声中跨过新年 。
投资外国护照将为这样的家庭提供无障碍的出行机 会 。 除了方便在世界各地旅行, 即使不打算放弃在 本国的永久居住权, 他们也将能无限制地享受到欧 盟任何国家的居住 、 工作和学习机会 。
Imagine their children, whose age can vary from 10 to
