“Here I heard that in Malta, if someone would like to get Malta passport, he only need to pay 650.000 euro and then he can get a Malta passport, is this true? And if this is true, could we have a cooperation to do this business?”

According to this link, in 2010 there were 383,000 individuals of high net worth in mainland China. High net worth is defined as those with at least 10 million yuan (US$1.5 million) in investable assets, which excludes primary residences and assets of poor liquidity.
Now if just 10% of these people had to opt for the Citizen Scheme in Malta over the next 4 years, we would be invaded by 38,000 Chinese who would become Maltese Citizens. These people would have a vote in the general elections and they would have the power to keep Muscat in power. It is in their interest after all.
Could this also be the motive behind Joseph Muscat’s scheme?
If 38000 Chinese are allowed to vote in our general elections, they will not keep Muscat in power.
The Malta Chinese Party will be in power.
Ten of them will stand for election and get elected automatically with 38000 votes between them.
They will have ten seats in parliament.
They will run the country.
China will then own a country in the EU.
It will not come cheap. It will cost them 24.7 billion euros (I know my arithmetic).
It is estimated that the Chinese government holds 1000 billion of euro-denominated assets which constitute less than a third of its total holdings.
Maltese people who have been abroad for some time have lost their right to vote in our elections.
These new citizens would probably not even come to Malta. So they will have no right to vote. A Maltese passport is not enough to be able to vote in general elections in Malta. One must have been living here for a certain period of time to be eligible to vote.
If these new citizens would be allowed to vote just the same, they would be privileged citizens having more rights than true Maltese who have Maltese parents, were born here, lived in Malta for the greater part of their lives but since they have been away for maybe 2 years cannot vote.
“Could this also be the motive behind Joseph Muscat’s scheme?”
Did you ever have any doubt about that? As far-fetched as it may sound, remember that ths is Labour we are dealing with. And Chna.
In that case we need all the help we can get. Bollocks to those who’ll say revoking those passports isn’t constitutional. When the basics of democracy are at stake, the spirit of the constitution has been distorted anyway.
How pathetic of Muscat if he can’t see himself re-elected on merit alone.
How sad can one be to miss all the opportunities in Europe and choose to be seen as a parasite.
He reminds me of businessmen who’ll always copy and chase others’ success stories.
Years? It won’t take years. I believe it only takes a few months.
Hence starts the slave trade.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Cheap passports, cheaper Prime Minister.
A whore of a prime minister, you mean. Selling a passport at any price – especially with no strings attached – is just not on. What is the difference between a prostitute in Testaferrata Street and what some like to refer to as a ‘high class hooker’ (a contradiction in terms, if there ever was one)?
Only need to pay 650,000 euros he says.
Only 650,000 euros in China,
The average yearly family income is currently 13,000 CNY equivalent to 1,582 euros.
Therefore a Maltese passport costs more than four hundred times the average yearly income for a family.
The equivalent cost in Malta would be around ten million euros.
I wonder what sort of people could afford such a price.
I really wonder who my paid-up fellow Maltese citizens are going to be.
I have my very strong suspicions and I shudder at the thought.
China’s richest 1 percent hold 70% of the country’s private wealth, according to the Wall Street Journal.
(Indirect source: http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/08/17/708521/china-1-percent/ )
With a population of 1.35 billion (add 9 zeros, Manuel Mallia) that’s a potential market of 13.5 million people.
This is MASSIVE.
Alla faccia del comunismo.
Ic-Ciniz ma’ jistax jemmen kemm hu bl-irhis il-passaport. U li m’ ghandekx xejn obbligi biex takkwistah. Ahjar xi hadd itieh it-telefon ta’ Musumeci halli jserrahlu rasu li vera.
Wives’ citizenship costs just 50k and children 25k. But all those men/women who are single when they purchase their passport will then get citizenship for their spouse and children totally free, right?
I was wondering if Sai Mizzi’s deployment to Shanghai on such a comfortable salary has to do with the promotion and sale of the Maltese citizenship?
If this whole passport whoring bellies up, we can at least live in relative security without such shady businessmen.
Flew into London Heathrow yesterday and upon presentation of my passport, the UK immigration officer exclaimed: “Oh, I’m waiting for the January sales to get myself one of those”. Priceless moment.
Kaching! #massive
Malta no limits.
It has occurred to me that perhaps the sale of passports is the work that special envoy Mrs Sai Mizzi is supposed to be doing in China.
I think you’re absolutely right. Let’s call her office shall we, that is, when she gets one.
We can always commission Willie Mangion to find her an office. His rapid action in procuring property is legendary. I bet he can find her an office before she grows old.
SALE SALE SALE

No mention of Malta yet (except that the event will be held at the Corinthia St Petersburg) but the reference to “Citizenship-by-Investment Programs” suggests that Malta will be a hot topic.
ATTENTION ALL LAWYERS
Please instruct anyone enquiring about the citizenship scheme to pay their fee to H.P.
Technically, it’s not fraud.
Dear Immigration Consultant to China,
First of all, how’s business? I guess not many people are booking to immigrate into China, so I’m not surprised you’re so excited by our cunning scheme. Emigration consultant is where the big money is.
Anyway, what you hear is absolutely true.
You give Jabba a cheque with your order, and he will send you all the passports you ordered. You can also group your clients, pretending to be families, to get a huge discount. With your order, it is mandatory to send also a good conduct certificate, either from the local police station, or from a trusted lawyer of your choice. And to answer for your last question. No, there is no limit to how many passports you can buy. The more, the merrier.
