Solicitor for Immigration Law in Qormi

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 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?

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 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 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 entered Malta on a short-stay visa and, due to some personal circumstances, I ended up staying a few weeks beyond the permitted period before I was able to leave. I’m now worried about what consequences this might have, both immediately and for any future attempts to visit or reside in Malta or the wider Schengen area.

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.

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.
