In this blog post you can read some Frequently Asked Questions about immigration for Third-Country Nationals (TCNs) who would like to relocate to Malta for work. Malta as a country and economy has exceeded it’s expectations in the past ten years and there has been an increasing demand for foreign workers to fill the lack of local workforce.
How can one find work in Malta?
There are many reputable companies who need constant workers, most of these being in the catering and hospitality industry, as well as in the construction and manual work sectors. There are also a number of service industries that require skilled people such as doctors, nurses, accountants, clerical positions and similar professions. If you are a qualified individual you need to ensure that your qualifications meet the right standards.
How can I apply for work in Malta?
The procedure to apply for work in Malta for TCNs is called the Single Work Permit application. You need to either apply through the company that will employ you or through a reputable agency. When applying with an agency make sure to understand if you are going to work with this agency directly and be subcontracted, or whether you will be employed directly with a specific company.
What is the procedure to apply for the Single Work Permit?
The employer/agency will apply for you on a still abroad basis. The application is straightforward and you need to follow the form and attach relevant document. Normally the employer will prepare this information form and submit to obtain an Approval in Principle letter.
What is the next step?
Your next step is to apply for a Visa in order to travel to Malta and start your employment. This application is normally split into two phases: paperwork submission and interview. Each Consulate or Embassy have their own requirements to apply for a working Visa in Malta.
