🇲🇹Malta
Malta is a sun-baked Mediterranean archipelago where English is an official language, making it one of Europe's smoothest landings for remote workers. You get EU infrastructure, fast fibre, and a dense walkable core, all on islands you can cross in under an hour. Prices climbed sharply post-2020, so it sits mid-range rather than cheap, but the convenience and weather keep nomads coming back.
Your entry & visa for Malta
A United States passport gets 90 days visa-free, then the Nomad Residence Permit for the long haul. Pick your passport above to see your own access.
The Nomad Residence Permit
Malta's Nomad Residence Permit lets non-EU remote workers stay one year, renewable up to four years total. You generally need to prove a stable remote income around 3,000 euros per month, health insurance, and an accommodation lease. Processing runs through Residency Malta Agency and typically takes several weeks to a couple of months.

What to watch
