1) Why do you have to de-register from your current place? Is it not possible to have em both?
2) If you are already holding the PR from one EU state, can you not live in another EU state? Do you need a new PR?
Cheers

86ti wrote:But you keep using 'residence card' which is reserved for family members. What you have, I think (what's the actual title of the document?), is a long-term residence permit EC according to Directive 2003/109/EC. UK, Ireland and Denmark opted out of this Directive and other member countries may impose limitations. Hence, my previous hint regarding quotas. If you intent to work you may find it very difficult to get a residence permit in another member state. I would be surprised if it would be easy in a small country like Malta.
Free but conditional on national law (hint: some countries are rumoured to be less than enthusiastic about immigration... Malta is a small country and I would be surprised if they would not keep tight control on the number of immigrants).hocknlim wrote:I don't quite understand what you mean. I thought EU permanent residence permit holder is free to move around in member states (except as you mentioned UK, Ireland Denmark).
You need the permit from the country you reside in. As far as I understand you have the right to return to the country where you originally got the permanent residence until you get a new one from the new country. At that point your Dutch permant residence permit will become invalid.hocknlim wrote:The only thing I want to clarify is: If I move to Malta, from which member state do I have to renew my residence permit.

But I have a feeling that you may lose your Dutch PR if you stay away too long.
Your PR circumstance is not very clear. Do you not qualify for Dutch citizenship? It would make your life/migration a whole lot easier.

I'm surprised someone wants to cancel his or her Dutch PR for just Malta..indeed life and people are unpredictable

Don't regret moving from the UK for a single moment! Despite the high tax, health insurance, etc...
You get what you pay for! And I see proof of this in Nederland. Schools, hospitals, etc.. High quality and standards!
Each to their own...
Good luck to you in Malta!
