ACC Malta Immigration

ACC Malta Immigration is a specialist firm for people who want to live in Malta or hold a Maltese passport. It sits within ACC Advisors Ltd, a Maltese company and a purely Maltese immigration practice, and its office is at 159A Merchants Street in the capital, with more in our Valletta guide, a few minutes' walk from the Upper Barrakka Gardens and the law courts quarter.

For a UK reader the appeal is simple: one team that can explain which route fits your circumstances, prepare the application and handle the surrounding legal and tax questions. If you are still weighing up the practicalities of a move, our guide to relocating to Malta from the UK is a good companion read. ACC Malta Immigration is listed in our directory of immigration consultants in Malta.

Residency and citizenship routes covered

The firm works across both ends of the spectrum. On the residency side it handles the Malta Permanent Residence Programme, the Global Residence Programme, the Nomad Residence Programme, The Residence Programme, the Start-Up Residence Programme and the standard EU residence permit. Remote workers considering the nomad route may also want our digital nomad guide to Malta.

On the citizenship side it advises on citizenship by descent, by direct investment, by marriage, by naturalisation and by merit, and it also helps clients who wish to renounce Maltese citizenship. A common starting point for UK families is descent: the firm will help you trace ancestors born in Malta and judge whether a claim is possible. The team assesses which programme suits your goals and whether you qualify under Maltese law before anything is submitted.

Licensing and the people behind the firm

ACC Advisors Ltd is registered in Malta under company number C-44042 and is authorised as a licensed immigration agent under the Agents (Licences) Regulations, 2020, bound by a code of conduct and ethics agreed with the Maltese government agency that runs the citizenship programmes. Applications under the Permanent Residence Programme must be filed through a licensed agent, and the firm's managing partner, Dr Priscilla Mifsud-Parker, holds that licence. She is also a competent professional for applications under the Citizenship by Merit Regulations.

Dr Mifsud-Parker is a private client lawyer and a senior partner at the Maltese law firm Chetcuti Cauchi Advocates. She works alongside Dr Antoine Saliba Haig, partner for immigration and global mobility, a director, several managers and an advisor, who between them look after clients from many countries. The team speaks Maltese, English, French, Italian, Arabic, Mandarin, Turkish and Russian.

Tax, legal and estate support

Moving countries rarely stops at a visa. The firm also offers the ancillary legal and tax services needed to cover a whole relocation, including trusts and estate planning, succession, property law and wealth structuring for entrepreneurs, investors, pensioners and family offices. If you are comparing how residence interacts with your tax position, start with our Malta tax guide for UK nationals and our overview of the corporate tax structure in Malta.

Where a move involves a business as well as a home, the firm's tax and structuring advice is designed to run alongside the residence application. Business owners and investors may also find our pages on financial services in Malta useful, and CLA Malta, our featured partner, covers company, tax and relocation work for those who need an accountancy firm as well.

How to get started

The firm offers a free and confidential first consultation. It is helpful to know in advance whether you are looking at residency or citizenship, which programme interests you and what nationality you hold, as these are the details its own form asks for. If you want to understand the island before committing, about Malta and the story of the Knights of Malta give useful background on the country you may be joining.
