Does a PR applicant need to actually visit Malta?
The PR applicant will only need to physically visit Malta once and that will be to sign the Final Declaration when the application is approved and all requirements for the first year are met. This can be done any time in the 12 months. Once you have taken transfer of your qualifying property then you can apply for the Permanent Residency to get stamped into your passport (Uniform Residence Permit). Thereafter you will be able to travel within the Shengen area without a visa.
