In recent years, the global employment landscape has shifted significantly, and Malta is no exception. Many Maltese companies are turning to Third Country Nationals (TCNs) eager to work in Europe to fill the employment gaps.
The surge in demand for non-EU employees has prompted numerous companies to seek assistance with the intricate administrative processes involved. In Malta, TCNs are required to obtain a Single Work Permit (employment license) before commencing employment. At Fairwinds Management Limited, our dedicated team boasts years of experience in successfully securing such permits.
What is a Single Work Permit?
A Single Work Permit authorises TCNs to legally reside and work in Malta for a specified period, with the possibility of renewal. Upon approval, the applicant receives a residence permit/card linked to their employment.
The full process essentially involves the following:
- Job offer
- Application process
- Collection of documentation
- Processing time
- Approval in principle
- Visa application
- Travelling to Malta
- Jobsplus engagement
- Health checks
- Biometrics appointment
- Residence card issuance
