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; Key Employee (EUR 45,000+, managerial or highly technical job, 5 working days) and Specialist Employee (EUR 30,000+, 15 working days) fast tracks.
Before you apply: Usually no licence. Some employers ask for vendor certificates (AWS, Microsoft, Cisco); signing audit reports needs a registered auditor.
Watch for: A law firm reports digital and ICT skills are named a national shortage (2026 to 2035 strategy); every route still needs a local advert (2 to 3 weeks).
