I am a belgian online professional pokerplayer and I want to relocate to Malta.
I want to become a resident in malta and obtain a residence card and thereby be under the Maltese taxations and everything.
I know of a lot of guys that are just playing poker in Malta without any of the paperwork and anything sorted out, but I want to have everything properly regulated so that I also will not be taxed by the Belgian government on my poker earnings but by the Maltese system.
What type of permit should I apply for and what do I need to do to get it granted?
Can I arrange the paperwork prior to moving to Malta, or do I have to move to Malta and sort the paperwork once I get there...
What if I move to malta and for whatever reason they won't grant me a residency? (can they refuse residency to a EU-member... since I am Belgian)
thanks for any advice because it is real hard to find decent answers anywhere
