Malta’s head of state to sell Maltese citizenship in London in November for Henley & Partners

President Marie Louise Coleiro Preca, in her role as Malta’s head of state, will visit London in November with Prime Minister Muscat, to promote the sale of Maltese citizenship at a ‘citizenship fair’ organised by Henley & Partners. Henley & Partners have listed her as a citizenship “industry expert”.

Christian Kalin, group chairman of Henley & Partners Switzerland AG, has emailed Maltese agents for citizenship applications with an invitation to go to the “10th Global Residence and Citizenship Conference” on 9-11 November at the “prestigious Savoy Hotel in London”, adding that it will be “information-rich”. The event includes a “private welcome cocktail function at the National Gallery in London”, a “focused Caribbean Government Roundtable” and a “gala dinner on the Silver Sturgeon Yacht on the Thames River”.

Despite all this largesse, Kalin is offering Maltese agents an “Early Bird booking discount” with which they can “save over GBP 250” if they book before 9 September, and also an additional 10% off “as one of our important partners”.

Christian Kalin then goes on to write:

Michael Portillo on the political economy of Europe; and gain a full understanding of the quality of your nationality by Prof. Dr. Dimitry Kochenov, among many other industry experts, including:
