Working in Malta

Malta offers opportunities in financial services, audit, consulting, technology, online gaming, aviation, tourism, pharmaceuticals and customer operations. English is an official language and is widely used in business, while Maltese is the national language. The island has a lively Mediterranean culture, historic towns, coastal scenery and an active social life, although summers can be hot and housing costs are high in areas such as Sliema, St Julian's and Gżira. Public transport is available, but commuting can be busy. EU and EEA citizens can generally work in Malta with the required registration formalities. Non-EU nationals usually need a work permit, commonly arranged through the employer, and may need a single permit before starting employment. Candidates should check current immigration, tax and residence requirements and budget carefully for accommodation and living expenses.
