Solicitor for Immigration Law in Floriana

I currently hold a residence permit in Malta tied to my specific job and employer, but I’ve just been made redundant. I’m worried about what this means for my ability to stay in Malta and whether I have any grace period to find new employment before my legal status is affected.

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 in Malta, tied to my current employment, is due to expire in a couple of months and I want to make sure I renew it properly and on time. What’s the general process, and how far in advance should I actually be starting this?

I’m a non-EU national and I’ve just received a job offer from a company in Malta. I was planning to start the residence and work permit application process myself before I even move, but I’ve heard this might not actually be how it works. Who is actually responsible for submitting this application?

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?

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 applying for a residence permit in Malta as a self-sufficient individual rather than through employment, and I’ve seen health insurance mentioned as one of the requirements. Is this genuinely mandatory, and does any type of health insurance policy satisfy the requirement, or does it need to meet specific criteria?

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?
