Just a quick question.
Does anyone no
What is the difference of me being a dual citizen of Malta
Then
Coming to reside in Malta as a British expat

I did read somewhere there is no difference other then if I ever wanted to buy a property but Surely that's not all

Thanks I did come across that before I want to apply  but didnt no  if being a dual citizen or  not really made a difference,
