Solicitor for Immigration Law in Msida

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.

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’ve heard about people being deported from Malta and I want to understand, in general terms, under what circumstances someone could actually face deportation, particularly whether this only applies to serious criminal matters or whether immigration status issues alone could lead to this outcome.

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?

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 citizen of another EU country and I’m planning to move to Malta for work. I keep seeing a lot of information online about visas and work permits, but I’m not sure how much of it actually applies to me as an EU citizen, or whether the process is meant to be much simpler.

I hold a residence permit in Malta but I need to spend an extended period abroad, potentially several months, for personal reasons. I’m worried that being away from Malta for this long might somehow affect or invalidate my residence status here. Is this a genuine risk?

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.
