Because they’re supposed to?

You’re right, but isn’t this the ultimate blooper if we had to stick to formality?

Muscat’s grey areas will out.

Exceptions can be made for party favourites. More so, if an EU passport is issued in secret.

Why do they need a Schengen visa if they don’t need to come here?

Yes, and this suits Henley & Partners even better to push up their fees for this extra work (processing the Schengen visa application) and during this one-year-sham residence. All paper work is processed while the applicant and his family members remains in their home country.

[Daphne – Yes, it does not.]

The onus should be on the government because the passport will be given by It.

No. They don’t even need to come to Malta at all.
