COVID-19 Situation

May 2020: COVID in Malta

As we are heading towards summer there is hope that Malta has turned the corner. In comparison to many other EU countries Malta has fared much better during the COVID-19 crisis, currently logging only about 100 active cases, 6 fatalities, and over 460 recoveries!

Thus, beginning Friday, restaurants, cafe's, and open-air cinemas will open again, as will fitness classes and non-contact sports events. People will be allowed to congregate, although group size will be limited to no more than 6 persons. Additional services to be reopened include outdoor markets, public swimming pools, certain hotels, hair salons, and non-COVID related health and medical services provided that large gatherings of people are avoided.

What about travel to Malta?

While there is no date set when the airport will open again, Malta is in discussions with certain countries to open safe travel corridors that would allow access to our country from select nations, according to Prime Minister Robert Abela. At this time we have no additional details about these travel corridors, but we will monitor the situation and advise you as more information becomes available over the next days and weeks.

Apply now or wait?

Because we expect a large number of immigration applications to flood the system as soon as travel opens up again we encourage clients who have decided Malta residency or citizenship is right for them to start their applications now. There is no need to travel to Malta for several weeks while we work with you to fill out all forms and gather all supporting documentation.

Starting now will put you ahead of the crowd, and filing before the flood of petitions arrives means your application will be one of the first to be processed by the government.

Lastly, and as mentioned in our previous newsletter, there are currently several COVID-19 discounts available. If you're ready we suggest locking in your deal now before these offers expire. Who doesn't love a discount?

Stay safe everyone, and please don’t hesitate to email us with any questions.
