We would like to notify all Third Country Nationals that have an appeal open at the Immigration Appeals Board (IAB) office in Valletta, that after you file your appeal and make submissions, yourself or through your lawyer, you will eventually receive an appointment for the decision of your appeal application.
In this appointment you need to attend personally to collect the decision of your appeal.
It’s important to take your passport with you, and if you have an immigration lawyer, you may consult with them beforehand to assist you accordingly.
If your appeal application is approved, you may continue your stay in Malta in line with the conditions set out in the decision.
If your appeal application is rejected, your passport will be taken by the Immigration Inspector in charge, and you will be given a receipt. You will then be required to leave the Malta within 10 – 15 days. However, you also have the right to file a further appeal before the Court of Appeal. If you wish to file a second appeal, ask an immigration lawyer for assistance.
Kindly note that our team of immigration lawyers in Malta at Sciberras Advocates can assist you with appeals at Immigration Appeals Board and appeals at the Court of Appeal, to protect your immigration status and residency in Malta.
We encourage you to contact us for support on [email protected].
