Immigration and Residence
Single Permit, residence permits, family reunification, citizenship, and appeals against refusals.
Moving to Malta to work, live or join family involves several authorities and a strict set of documents. We advise on the permit that fits your situation, prepare and file the application with Identità, and deal with the authorities until a decision is issued.
If an application is refused, we review the grounds and file an appeal where there is a basis for one. We act for individuals and for employers who recruit staff from outside the European Union.
- Single Permit
- The combined work and residence permit for non-EU nationals employed in Malta. We prepare the application together with the employer and follow it through to approval.
- Key Employee Initiative and EU Blue Card
- Faster routes for managers, specialists and highly qualified professionals.
- Nomad Residence Permit
- Residence for remote workers who are employed or self-employed outside Malta.
- Family reunification
- Applications for spouses and children to join a family member who lives in Malta.
- Long-term and permanent residence
- Long-term resident status after five years of legal residence, and the Malta Permanent Residence Programme.
- Citizenship by naturalisation
- Applications based on residence or marriage under the Maltese Citizenship Act.
- Refusals and appeals
- Review of refusal decisions and appeals before the Immigration Appeals Board.
