随着2022年欧洲议会公开呼吁禁止欧盟“黄金护照”和“黄金签证”，今年欧洲黄金签项目就开始了各种形式的变政。先有爱尔兰项目宣布关停，再到希腊项目的全面涨价和现在的葡萄牙项目的“缓慢”关门。

　　近日，马耳他移民局对MPRP项目的Q&A(Version No. 2.1 dated 24th May 2023) 进行了修订。此次修订是马耳他移民局对于递案要求的再次重申和提醒。

　　在全文10多处的更新和修改之中，瑞鸿海外总结并整理了对申请人最息息相关的3点变动，分享给大家。

　　01　经济依附认定

　　One of the eligibility criteria for an adult dependant to be part of an application, it must be proven to the satisfaction of the Agency is that at the time of application he is principally dependent on the main applicant. What does "principally dependant" refer to?

　　如何定义成年附属申请人的“经济依附”?

　　官方回答：The Main Applicant must prove to the Agency's satisfaction that at the time of submission of the application, the adult dependant cannot live a self-sufficient basic independent life without the Main Applicant's support.

　　Adult dependants having an accumulated wealth and/or sufficient income arising from, but not limited to, corporate affiliations through significant shareholding and/or holding legal positions, top roles or any other role in the corporation,financial assets, properties and reasonable economic activity or employment, would not be eligible to apply for the MPRP Programme, even if the main applicant would be contributing further to enable the dependant to lead a better lifestyle.

　　总结：

　　成年附属申请人有以下情况，则不符合“经济依附”申请条件：1. 名下有创造收入的公司或者任职单位;2. 捐赠主申很多资产;3. 名下有其他现金资产;

　　02　金融资产认定

　　Are cryptocurrencies permissible as financial assets?

　　虚拟货币是否可以作为金融资产?

　　官方回答：No, they are not permissible.These should be liquid assets like stocks, bonds, publicly listed/traded shares, funds and bank deposits.

　　总结：

　　虚拟货币不可以作为金融资产。

　　马耳他移民局目前认可的金融资产为：股票、国债、上市企业持有股份、基金以及银行存款。

　　03　申请人公司持股文件要求

　　If main applicant confirms that he/she holds shares in a company that is publicly listed, are company documents to be submitted with the application pack?

　　如果申请人名下公司已上市，是否需要提供额外文件?

　　官方回答：If main applicant’s shareholding exceeds 10% of the total shareholding in a publicly listed company, the company documents are required.

　　总结：

　　如果客户持有上市公司股份10%以上，需要提供公司文件。

　　今年2月以来，欧洲多国投资移民项目相继关停或是变政，简直就是“大变天”!

　　移民专家提醒：此次马耳他移民局所更改申请文件要求，标志着MPRP项目的政策开始步步收紧，材料递交要求愈发严格，申请人务必抓住当下机会，赶上欧洲移民的末班车!
