Can my family join me in Malta if I have a work-based residence permit?

Malta does provide for family reunification for certain categories of residence permit holders, with the specific conditions and eligible relationships set out under Subsidiary Legislation 217.06 connected to the Immigration Act, Chapter 217 of the Laws of Malta, though eligibility, required documentation, and conditions such as demonstrating sufficient income and suitable accommodation to support your family members generally need to be satisfied before an application would be approved, and the specific requirements can vary depending on your particular type of residence status as the sponsor. It's also worth being aware that family members joining you generally cannot automatically work in Malta simply based on the family reunification permit itself; if your spouse wants to take up employment, they would typically need to apply separately for their own Single Permit once in Malta, meaning family reunification and the right to work are treated as somewhat distinct processes. Given the specific documentation and financial thresholds involved in a family reunification application, and how these can depend on the exact nature of your current residence status, it would be worth confirming the current specific requirements directly with Identità or through an immigration lawyer before beginning the application process.
