Just a very quick one as I've got confused (again).
As I understand it, to show that my wife and myself are economically self sufficient we can show our funds in a foreign bank account, it doesn't have to be a Maltese bank account.
Now, with this in mind, we were thinking about opening one of the HSBC internation accounts, so that we could have a HSBC account in the UK (for our rent to be paid into from our tenants), an international one, and a local one in malta (So we can transfer over and withdraw for relatively low fees or none, if I read it all correctly). I need to look into it fully, but my main quesiton is that in order to keep the international account open we need to keep £60,000 in there (which we can just about do, at least in the short term), will showing this balance tick the economic self sufficiency box?
I'll be joining the premium board as soon as I can (once I'm nearer to knowing when i can move over), so I'm hoping there's plenty of info in there, in case there's a much more cost effective alternative.
I had a look at some of the Maltese banks too by doing a load of searches. Are any of these any good and does anyone recommend them?
My mind is melting knowing what direction to take

Many thanks
Chris
