Can I work in Malta?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Single Permit after a 3-week local advert, EUR 600, plus two short courses (about EUR 475) for hotel jobs.
Watch for: Agencies in Malta warn of paid "job offer" scams.
