Highly Qualified Persons Programme
Malta has established itself as a centre of excellence in the fields of financial services and iGaming and is also becoming a respected jurisdiction in the aviation field. This growth was maintained even during the financial crisis and schemes such as the HQPR are meant to attract further specialised and experienced individuals to meet the ever-growing demand for such positions.
This residence scheme is available to any interested applicant; thus EU/EEA/Swiss nationals as well as third country nationals may apply. Third country nationals who do not meet the requirements set out below may wish to consider applying for the Global Residence Programme, the Malta Residence and Visa Programme or alternatively the Individual Investor Programme.

Benefits:

(c) Head of Marketing (including Head of Distribution Channels), Head of Investor Relations.
Note: The benefit is available for a period of 5 years in the case of EEA and Swiss Nationals. In the case of non-EU/EEA nationals (third country nationals), this benefit is available for a period of 4 years, subject to a claw-back if the individual remains in Malta beyond that period, or if he directly or indirectly acquires immovable property in Malta. This period starts to run from the year the individual takes up residence in Malta and derives income taxable in Malta.
*The amount of minimum employment income is subject to be reviewed annually by the relevant authority.
