Malta Work Permit

Vertex Hire Europe Recruitment AB offers expert guidance and comprehensive support for professionals and employers navigating the Malta work permit process. Malta, strategically located in Europe with a growing economy and thriving tech sector, attracts international talent to fill skill gaps and support business growth.

Overview of Malta Work Permits
Non-EU nationals require a work permit and a residence permit to live and work legally in Malta. The process begins with securing a job offer from a Maltese employer, who must demonstrate that no suitable local or EU candidate is available for the position.

Types of Work Permits in Malta
Single Permit: Allows non-EU nationals to reside and work in Malta for over six months. The permit is employer- and position-specific and typically takes two to three months to process.

Key Employee Initiative (KEI): A fast-track permit for highly skilled professionals in managerial or technical roles, with an expedited approval within five working days. Requires a minimum gross annual salary of €30,000.

EU Blue Card: Designed for highly qualified workers with a university degree and a salary threshold of at least 1.5 times the average national gross salary. This permit offers greater mobility within the EU.

Specialist Employment Initiative (SEI): For professionals with relevant qualifications or experience, offering streamlined processing and a residence permit valid initially for one year, renewable up to three years.

Location

Malta is a small independent nation-state in Europe, located at the center of the Mediterranean Sea. Consisting of three islands: main island Malta, Gozo, and Comino, Malta is the EU’s smallest member state both in terms of landmass (316 km² / 122 sqm) and population size (516,100 in 2020).

Costs of Living

Malta is 10% less expensive than the United States, while rentals are 35% lower, according to the website Numbeo. Consumer prices are also 12% lower than in the UK, with average rentals nearly a quarter lower. If you make a good living and don’t overextend yourself on rent, you’ll have more disposable income than if you lived in a major city like London or Paris.

Low unemployment

In 2021, the unemployment rate in Malta dropped by 0.8 percentage points compared to the previous year. As a result, in 2021 Malta had the lowest unemployment rate in the entire Euro Zone. After analyzing Malta, the IMF estimated that the country’s economic growth in 2021 and the next few years will be higher than the Euro Zone average.

Language

Expats and those planning a migration to Malta will be relieved to know that the country is now officially bilingual. The country has two official languages, Maltese and English, and the majority of the people speak both. Since the island was a former British colony, the Maltese people had been using English for centuries, both in their daily life and in administration.

Hospitality

The Maltese are a proud people with a distinct culture that has been shaped by foreign civilizations through many centuries of occupancy. Maltese people are welcoming and friendly. The younger generation, who have traveled more and benefited from an infusion of foreign companies and people from all over the world, appear to be pleased with their country’s rising status and economic progress.

Safety

One of the major highlights of living in Malta is how safe you feel. While small crimes can occur, they are uncommon and may typically be avoided by using common sense. Violent crime is significantly less common than in other European nations, and it is safe to walk around almost any place. People here watch out for one another, and there is still a strong sense of ‘community spirit,’ which helps to keep crime rates low.
