Working in Malta

Malta offers a growing technology and professional-services market, with opportunities in systems administration, cloud computing, cybersecurity, software, fintech, gaming, financial services, tourism and consulting. English is an official language and is widely used in workplaces, while Maltese is the national language. The culture combines Mediterranean traditions with a strong international influence, and the island has a social lifestyle, historic towns, beaches and an active expatriate community. Malta enjoys mild winters and hot summers, although housing and traffic can be challenging, particularly around Msida, Sliema and St Julian’s. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens generally have the right to work after completing local registration requirements. Non-EU nationals usually need a single work permit sponsored by an employer, with the process started before or after arrival depending on the circumstances. Candidates should confirm current immigration rules and budget carefully for rent and living costs.
