Violation of the conditions on which the residence permit was granted is the primary reason a Maltese residence permit can be withdrawn or invalid. If the residence permit holder discovers violating any tax obligation, they must report it to the Maltese tax authorities within four weeks. Otherwise, a fine of €5,000 may be charged.
The Maltese tax department may decide not to cancel the residence permit by investment under the following circumstances:
If the requirements of the residence permit were not met due to circumstances beyond the holder’s control;
If the holder has made every possible effort to correct the violation and fulfil their obligations under the program.
In addition, there are several general grounds, including the provision of false information, violation of the law, and posing a threat to the country’s national security for revoking citizenship or a residence permit.
