As a practitioner of the immigration industry, I understand the entanglement and hesitation of immigrants, going to a foreign country to start an unknown life, it can be said that the future is uncertain, but why should we immigrate? Some people for the future of their careers, some people for a better living environment, some people for the education of their children.... Whatever it is, we are all for a better life.
In recent years, with the tightening of traditional immigration national policies such as the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, while the European market has opened its arms to immigrants, small European countries like Malta have suddenly become fragrant, so what is life really like in Malta? Xiaobian takes you into the real life of Maltese immigrants.
First of all, Malta is predominantly English, supplemented by Maltese. Malta is one of the 32 developed countries in the world, with economic growth rates of 6.8% in 2017, 7% in 2018 and a staggering 9.5% in the third quarter of 2018, which is above the world average. GDP per capita is $44,587 and the unemployment rate is only 3 percent.
Moreover, Malta is a Commonwealth country, although the status of the current Commonwealth countries is not high. But it is a Commonwealth country, indicating that it has been colonized by the British, the political system management system economic system is inherited from Britain, the infrastructure is also built by the British, our education in Malta, like the Commonwealth countries, is the inheritance of traditional British education, they are called study abroad countries, his educational resources and education quality is very high.
Then there is the eurozone, each member country has a different development trend, there will be economic hedging between countries, the total currency will not be affected by a single country, so the euro has always been a slow rise and stable trend. We in China in the last year and the United States trade war, the far-reaching impact on all customers is the sharp depreciation of the renminbi, in the world, is the depreciation of property, if the euro is used, then the assets will have a flat trend, there is a guarantee.
Finally, there is the European Union, which is the world's largest economy, and the most direct impact is that through Malta's permanent residence status, you can get the EU permanent residence. But not all EU countries recognize EU permanent residence, and the UK, Ireland and Denmark do not.
