As of
CBM costs are case-dependent (government charges, preparation, documents, translations, travel); Malta’s personal tax is domicile-based, not citizenship-based.
| Component | What it covers | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Government charges | Official fees/charges as applicable to CBM stages and formalities | Amounts and triggers depend on policy and case specifics |
| Preparation & representation | Eligibility review, merits narrative, file compilation, submissions, responses | Quoted to scope; complex cross-border profiles require deeper curation |
| Documents & procurement | Police certificates, civil records, banking letters, corporate extracts | We coordinate orders, track validity, and manage refreshes |
| Translations & legalizations | Certified translations, notarizations, apostilles/legalizations | We can arrange end-to-end; ensure format/consistency to avoid rework |
| Travel & attendance | Biometrics, oath/pledge, any in-person touchpoints | We cluster appointments where possible to minimize trips |
| Merit implementation | Costs tied to proposed contribution (e.g., MOUs, pilots, staffing) | Sized to impact and governance; documented for review |
| Advisory (optional) | Tax, corporate, or relocation planning | Independent advisors; introductions available on request |
We’ll scope your profile, propose a staged plan, and provide
a written cost outline before you commit.
This is a general overview,
not tax advice. Always seek personalized advice before acting.
CBM is merit-based rather than investment-tariff-based, so charges depend on policy and your specific pathway. We confirm current government charges and stage triggers during onboarding and include them in your written plan.
Eligibility screening, merits strategy, document curation, certified translations/legalizations management, structured submissions, and responses to clarifications. We run an A-to-Z process so your file is complete, indexed, and easy for reviewers to navigate.
We can, or you can secure these services yourself - the choice is yours. Our team can coordinate certified translators, notaries, and apostille/legalization providers, ensuring consistent names/dates and jurisdiction-compliant formats so documents pass first-time checks.
Expect in-person touchpoints for biometrics and the oath/pledge. We’ll cluster appointments to minimize trips and coordinate dates across family members where possible.
No—philanthropic or impact costs are part of your proposed merit contribution, not a fixed program tariff. We help size, govern, and evidence the initiative so it aligns with national priorities.
No. Maltese citizenship doesn’t automatically grant tax residency or domicile. Tax residency depends on factors like time spent in Malta, your main residence, and where your income is earned or received.
Personal tax treatment in Malta considers domicile (your permanent home intention) and residence. Planning your domicile and remittance profile carefully can materially change outcomes—specialist advice is recommended, and we can introduce you to licensed tax advisors.
Generally, foreign income remitted to Malta may be taxable, while foreign capital gains can be treated differently for non-domiciled persons. Your position depends on your specific facts—an advisor can confirm what applies to you.
Some applicants pair CBM with Malta-based entities or family-office functions. We can introduce licensed corporate and tax advisors to assess viability, licensing, and ongoing compliance costs.
For the application, crypto requires robust provenance (exchange KYC, on-chain histories, compliant off-ramping). For tax, treatment is fact-specific—independent Maltese tax advice is essential if you plan to realize or remit gains.
