If you brought your R1 million to Malta in Feb 2015 you would have had roughly €76,569 in exchange but in Jan 2025 that is now only worth about €51,840!
As a South African, make Malta your permanent EU home and start living again. Kick off the process by booking your seat at the next round of Malta Residence and Relocations seminars coming up. (Attendance is Free).
Malta is located in the heart of the Mediterranean, has a buoyant economy and property on average sees a capital appreciation in Euro of around 4%+, one of the best in Europe! That means that if you brought R1 million to Malta in 2015, your Rands would have bought you more as property was cheaper as well. Your €76,569 (R1m) in 2015 will now only be worth €51,840, meaning it lost about 32% in value besides the fact that a property of €150,000 in 2015 now will cost around €222,00 based on an average gain of 4% p.a.! So not only have South Africans had to face the exchange rate loss of the past 10 years but they also missed out on the capital appreciation of owning a property in Malta for the past 10 years.
Malta has been part of the EU since 2004 and countless South Africans have already made the move to the island.
As a country with an emphasis on personal safety, this is a place where South Africans not only feel at home from the moment they arrive, it is an ideal relocation destination for you and your family. According to endevio.com, in 2019 Malta was the safest country in Europe and the second safest globally.
English is one of the official languages and driving is on the same side of the road as in SA. South African driver’s licenses are honoured and valid for a full year after arrival.

In Malta you have a choice of having FREE state health care if you are employed and pay social contributions. If you are retired you are required to take out private health insurance but it is extremely affordable: Saffas are used to paying vast sums for private healthcare in order to have better levels of quality service… but by comparison, healthcare plans in Malta are offered by all the big general insurance companies and are a lot cheaper!
In Malta armed response companies are a foreign concept. Here you can safely go out and walk down the street after dark in any village or town. It is the number one reason why Saffas resume their lives here. It is a chance to start living again without the constant fear of harm to you or your loved ones.
