Solicitor for Immigration Law in Bormla

I applied for permanent, long-term residence status in Malta after living here for several years on temporary permits, but the application was refused with only a brief explanation. I want to understand whether I have a genuine option to appeal this, or whether I would need to start again from scratch with a fresh application.

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’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 residence permit application in Malta was recently refused, and I wasn’t given much detail about why. I want to understand what options I actually have now, whether I can challenge the decision or if I simply have to accept it and leave.

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 looking into moving to Malta for work and I’ve heard there might be a minimum salary threshold that has to be met for a work-based residence permit to actually be approved. Is this true, and does it apply to all types of jobs or only certain sectors?

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?

I’ve been legally residing in Malta for a number of years now on various residence permits, and I’m wondering whether I might now be eligible to apply for Maltese citizenship through naturalisation, given how long I’ve actually lived here.
