Destination Guide

Malta offers opportunities in audit, accounting, financial services, gaming, technology, tourism, compliance and shared-service operations. English is an official language and is widely used in business, while Maltese is the national language. Life on the island combines a Mediterranean climate, historic towns, coastal activities and an active social scene, although traffic, limited public transport in some areas and relatively high rents can be challenging. Valletta, Sliema, St Julian’s and Gżira are popular with professionals, while quieter and often more affordable areas include Mosta, Naxxar and the south of Malta. EU, EEA and Swiss nationals generally have the right to work after registering residence. Non-EU citizens normally need a single work and residence permit arranged with an employer. Candidates should budget for housing, healthcare contributions, transport and relocation costs before moving.
