Destination Guide

Malta offers opportunities in accounting, audit, financial services, compliance, technology, gaming, tourism, healthcare, and shared-service operations. English is an official language and is widely used at work, while Maltese is the national language. The culture blends Mediterranean traditions with strong British and European influences, and people generally enjoy outdoor dining, beaches, historic towns, and an active social life. Malta has a warm climate and good air connections, although traffic, limited housing supply, and rising rents can be challenging, especially around Sliema, St Julian’s, and Valletta. EU, EEA, and Swiss nationals can generally work after completing local registration requirements. Non-EU candidates usually need an employment licence and a Single Permit sponsored by their employer. Before relocating, confirm salary, housing costs, tax, healthcare, and permit responsibilities with EY and the relevant Maltese authorities.
