There you go. They will have rights we’re not worthy of.

Despite the “sham” residence that the PM has in mind that these “applicants” can get away with, the deemed tax resident status will put a further burden on the applicant in reporting their global income and assets to the tax authorities.

Any wilful concealment of information or negligent misrep in reporting will be the basis of the culpability in denying citizenship application.

This analogy is completely rubbish.

It is just the principal applicant who pays the one time 650,000.

No contribution for all the dependent family members like spouses, children, parents, etc, let alone generations and generations of thee people’s offspring who will inherit the Maltese citizenship even if born abroad.

Who is Muscat trying to fool??

He has no idea how to do that.

He’s only good at electioneering, with the help of Henley & Partners ans his teleprompter of course.

@Jozef

It’s been some time since Labour had a Finance Minister who stayed in his job for more than one year on average.

During Labour’s 22 months in office between 1996 and 1998, there were two Finance Ministers.

A clear indication of Labour’s incompetence in financial management.

I wonder if the passport scheme cooked up by Henley’s Eric Major and his visionary client Joseph Muscat had anything to do with tipping Swiss public opinion over the edge.

I suppose the EU could insist on IIP applicants having one of the residence permits that apply for stays of one year.

Just in time for all those people about to become residents of Malta after simply renting a flat.

Does he think that it enhances Malta’s image in the international community? Does he care at all about such matters as long as his scheme produces cash?
