Malta Work Permit Training

Course Description

Malta is a small but strategically positioned EU and Schengen member state with a growing economy built around financial services, iGaming, technology, and tourism and a persistent shortage of skilled workers to fill its expanding job market. Malta's work permit system, now delivered as a single permit combining work authorisation and residence, is managed by Jobsplus and Identity Malta (now Identità). This course teaches immigration professionals the complete Malta work permit process from job offer and employer sponsorship through to permit issuance and worker rights.
