Malta Malfunction: The Rich Hit a Border Wall
The Morning Brief - A podcast by The Economic Times

Malta’s golden passport scheme once ranked #1 globally for citizenship-by-investment has been declared a violation of EU law by the European Court of Justice, signaling a major turning point in global wealth migration. As the EU cracks down on fast-track citizenship programs, high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), including thousands of wealthy Indians, are reassessing their options for second citizenship and global mobility. Host Neil Ghai talks to Rajneesh Pathak, founder of GlobalNorth Residency and Citizenship and Andri Boiko, Founder & Global CEO , Garant In, as they discover how this landmark ruling could reshape investment migration trends, impact the future of golden visas, and shift demand toward more affordable residency and passport programs in the Caribbean and beyond.Check out other interesting episodes from the host like: Tariffs trump trade, The Curious Case of IndusInd Bank, The Influencer Economy’s Quiet Reset, India’s Biggest Hospital has a Chronic Illness and much more.
