在您抵达马耳他之前
My employer is requesting money to employ me. Do I pay him?
你不应该接受任何要求你支付费用的工作。这违背了你工作权利的基本人权，相当于人口贩卖。你不应该接受任何要求你支付费用的工作。.
What is the procedure to apply for the Single Work Permit?
The procedure to apply for work in Malta for TCNs is called the Single Work Permit application.
The employer or agency will apply for you on a ‘still abroad’ basis. The application is straightforward and you need to fill the form and attach all relevant documents. Normally the employer will prepare the form with your input and submit to obtain an Approval in Principle letter.
工作许可需要多长时间才能获得？
Typically, from the day of submission with Identity Malta, it usually takes 30-60 days to get approved. Following this, you have six months’ time to travel to Malta, subject to visa clearance.
如果我的工作申请未被接受，我该怎么办？
If you or your employer receive an email by Identity Malta Agency stating that your application cannot be processed, you have a right to appeal with the Immigration Appeals Board. You must consult an immigration specialist law firm like Sciberras Advocates who can understand the case and guide you accordingly. Similarly, if you receive a refusal letter you have three days’ time to appeal at the Immigration Appeals Board.
签证被拒会发生什么？
If a visa for work permit is refused, you have a right to appeal within 15 days with the Immigration Appeals Board. Appeals can also be sent via email. It is advisable to consult an immigration specialist law firm like Sciberras Advocates who can understand the case and guide you accordingly.
上诉需要多长时间才能得到答复？
Appeals in Malta are done in writing. Once the appeal is submitted, the Appellant is given another 15 days to submit any further documentation to substantiate his appeal. At the same time, the various stakeholders (Identity Malta, Jobsplus, Immigration Police, Central Visa Unit) are asked to give their feedback depending on the type of appeal. Typically appeals take between 6 to 9 months to get a final definite answer.
抵达马耳他
您抵达马耳他时会发生什么？
一旦抵达马耳他，您需要完成工作许可申请的最后步骤，并获得马耳他居留卡。工作许可和居留卡有效期为一年。在抵达马耳他后的几周内及之后，请务必确保：
- You are correctly registered with Jobsplus
- You are getting a payslip every month
- You ensure that your National Insurance contributions are being paid by your employer
- You are getting the correct amount of leave and overtime rates
- You are being given an FS3 (your annual statement of earnings)
- You are not terminated without being informed or not given advance notice to find a new job.
如果我在工作场所被拦住或被警察拦下该怎么办？
不用担心，只要你一直携带好居留卡，就不会有问题。重要的是，如果你的工作许可涵盖特定雇主和特定职位，你必须遵守。非法打工将面临拘留和驱逐出境，并且在法庭上很难对此提出异议。.
在马耳他换工作
如果我对我的工作不满意会怎样？
Remember the contract that you signed before coming to Malta and remember the important clauses. You still have an opportunity to leave however it is advisable that first you have found another job. When changing jobs, you only have a 10-day window to apply between termination and application. Furthermore, when you apply for a new job, it does not automatically mean you can start working straight away. You need to get a new employment license and approval from Identity Malta Agency, and this takes some time. Whilst you can legally reside in Malta when changing jobs, the application does not give you automatic rights to work.
如果我的雇主在我不知情的情况下解雇了我，该怎么办？
It is not the first time that employers terminate employees, send the Jobsplus termination form a month late and back date it. This would put you in an automatic overstay position and make you irregular in Malta. In that case you need to speak to an immigration and employment lawyer specialist such as Sciberras Advocates to see if there is a chance of redress.
