The rules in brief
A child generally qualifies up to 18, or up to 23 in full-time education, if you have custody or pay maintenance. Residence conditions apply, and some non-EU families face child birthplace and residence tests. Some EU/EEA cross-border cases need at least 90% of worldwide income from Malta. Children with disabilities may be covered by separate conditions.
