Founder and Director; Authorised Registered Mandatory at Papilio Services
Thomas Jacobsen is a founder and director of Papilio Services Limited and is presented by the firm as an Authorised Registered Mandatory for Malta tax-residence programmes. His official biography records a University of Oslo law degree specialising in international tax, earlier work as a lawyer for the Royal Norwegian Air Force and ten years in PwC Malta’s tax and legal department after relocating to Malta in 1997. He advises on cross-border corporate structures, Malta companies, trusts, funds, partnerships and foundations, tax compliance and residence planning for international private clients. His memberships include the Malta Institute of Taxation, Institute of Financial Services Practitioners, International Bar Association, Investment Migration Council, International Fiscal Association and STEP. The reviewed sources do not establish a current Maltese practising-lawyer warrant or bar number, so this is published as a professional adviser profile rather than a verified lawyer credential.
