Malta
Europe
Malta has no rigid day-count tax test at all, residency turns on the facts of your presence and intent, backed by a dedicated Nomad Residence Permit for non-EU remote workers. Its non-dom remittance regime is the headline draw for wealthier movers, taxing foreign income only when it actually reaches Malta.
