Can remote workers live in Malta on the Nomad Residence Permit?

Malta's Nomad Residence Permit (digital nomad visa), run by the Residency Malta Agency, lets non-EU/EEA/Swiss remote workers live in Malta while their income comes from outside the country. It covers employees of foreign employers, freelancers serving non-resident clients, and owners managing a foreign-registered company. You need a minimum gross annual income of EUR 42,000, valid health insurance, a clean criminal record, a valid travel document and proof of accommodation. The permit is granted for up to a year and can be renewed up to three times (about four years total), subject to a minimum presence in Malta, and qualifying remote income benefits from a favourable tax regime. The application fee is EUR 300 per applicant.
