Solicitor for Immigration Law in Paola

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.

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 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 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?

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 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’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 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.
