The Malta Labour Migration Policy, which is being phased in throughout 2025 (full policy available here), will see three key measures come into effect in October. These measures directly impact third-country nationals (TCNs), employers, and other stakeholders, and are outlined below.
Measures commencing 1st October 2025:
- Salary Payment Method for Newly Engaged TCNs
As of 1st October 2025, all salary payments to third-country nationals who enter the country or change jobs as of the Bill’s implementation date, (being 1st October 2025), must be conducted exclusively via licensed financial institutions (electronic payments). Cash payments will no longer be recognised as fulfilling the requirements of the employment contract.
- Interim Permits for TCNs from Visa Waiver Countries
TCNs that originate from visa waiver countries and apply for a single permit within 60 days of entering the Schengen Area will be granted an interim permit allowing them to remain in Malta while their application is processed. However, individuals applying between 61 and 90 days after entering the Schengen Area will be required to await the application’s outcome from outside the Schengen Area.
- Support for Victims of Human Trafficking
Third-country nationals identified as victims of human trafficking who apply for residence permits under S.L. 217.07 will be exempt from application fees. These permits will be valid for one year rather than the current six months and may be renewed throughout the entire duration of any related court proceedings.
As a specialised immigration law firm in Malta, we handle numerous procedures for third-country nationals related to work permits, change of employment, family reunification, appeals and more.
