Solicitor for Immigration Law in Naxxar

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?

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 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.

My application for a short-stay Schengen visa to visit Malta was recently refused, without much explanation given. I had genuine reasons for wanting to visit and I feel the refusal may not have been entirely fair. Is there anything I can actually do to challenge this decision?

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 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?

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?
