Solicitor for Immigration Law in B’Kara

I’ve been studying in Malta on a student residence permit and I’ve now been offered a full-time job here after graduating. Can I transition directly to a work-based residence permit while remaining in Malta, or would I need to leave the country and reapply from abroad?

My employer has submitted my Single Permit application and I’m currently in Malta, but the application is still being processed. My employer is keen for me to start working right away rather than waiting for full approval. Is it actually legal for me to begin working before the permit is formally approved?

I’m an EU citizen and I’ve been living in Malta for a while now. My spouse is a non-EU national and I’d like them to join me here. Does the fact that I’m an EU citizen exercising my free movement rights make this process easier compared to if I were a non-EU national myself?

I have a connecting flight through Malta as part of a longer journey, with a layover of several hours before my onward flight. I’m a non-EU national and I’m wondering whether I actually need any kind of visa or permit just to transit through, even though I’m not planning to leave the airport or stay in Malta.

I entered Malta on a short-stay visa and, due to some personal circumstances, I ended up staying a few weeks beyond the permitted period before I was able to leave. I’m now worried about what consequences this might have, both immediately and for any future attempts to visit or reside in Malta or the wider Schengen area.

I work remotely for a company based outside Malta and I’m considering relocating to Malta while continuing that same remote job. I’ve heard about a specific residence permit designed for remote workers rather than the standard employment-based route. What does this actually require?

My employer has submitted a Single Permit application on my behalf so I can move to Malta for work, but I have no clear idea how long I should realistically expect this to take. I need to plan my move and I don’t want to give notice at my current job too early or too late.

I’m currently working in Malta on a residence permit tied to my employment, and I’d like to bring my spouse and child to join me here. Is family reunification actually possible under my current type of permit, and what would the process look like?
