Popular jobs in Malta




Like other developed countries, Malta needs professionals with a decent level of education and appropriate professional qualifications.

Things to note! The Maltese authorities follow the principle of giving jobs to locals first. If an employer cannot find a Maltese professional, only then can they seek help from foreigners.



The procedure for foreign candidates to find a job in Malta is as follows



Conducting a job search

The employer agrees to hire the foreign worker and enters into a general agreement on the terms and conditions of employment.

Preparing the documents and fulfilling all the necessary requirements for immigration to Malta.

The worker actually arrives in Malta, meets the employer and starts work activities.

At first glance, everything seems easy. However, there are many OTHER things. For example, the requirements for obtaining employment are quite complicated and serious. It takes a long time to fulfill all the points set out in Maltese law. This is discussed in more detail below.

The above points apply to permanent employment.



If you want to be a temporary or seasonal worker, you must be

The employer also undertakes to issue a special certificate of employment for the employee, as well as a document stating that no resident of Malta and the European Union is a candidate for the declared position.

Conditions for the admission of foreign nationals working for Maltese employers

The conditions for hiring professionals from other countries are set not only for applicants but also for employers.

In this case, the Maltese company or business must obtain a license from the state. Only with this document, the employer can obtain the right to hire workers from other countries.

As the Maltese government is sensitive to the economy and employment of its citizens, a certain number of organisations are required to obtain a permit. This number changes every year.


In order to obtain this permit, the employee must provide


  • the number of professionals required by the company
  • The type of work
  • The duration of employment and the permanence of the employees,
  • The purpose of the work.


If the State of Malta does not have the specialists required by the company, the "ekstasis" will be granted to residents of other countries. Naturally, Maltese companies employ people who have the necessary education, have obtained the highest category and speak more than one foreign language.

Bonus: Business as a Job Option in Malta

If you dream of working in Malta but can't find a suitable opening no matter how you try, you might want to consider the prospect of opening a business in the island nation.



Notes! This option is more suitable for already established businessmen who own successful and profitable businesses outside Malta.



A major advantage of the Province of the Maltese Islands is the high level of investment in the country's economy. Nevertheless, opening a business requires a significant investment, both on the part of the businessman and on the part of the Maltese partner who has agreed to cooperate.


The most profitable areas for starting a business include


Investment projects, in which at least €100,000 will be invested in the case of partners from other countries and at least €40,000 in the case of Maltese entrepreneurs;

Working as a sales representative for a company from another country with at least three years of experience in the international market;

Must have an innovative business plan, with the essential elements of establishing a company in Malta, securing a vacant position, and employing local and EU citizens; and

The applicant was very lucky to find a job in Malta. This is because this lucky applicant will be able to work in one of the most developed countries in Europe. Don't be afraid to try new fields. Maybe in the future you will be the most successful businessman in Malta!

Predicting a new crisis in Europe

  Danish experts have developed a supercomputer climate model that predicts climate change will bring an 'ice age' to Europe. As Greenland's glaciers begin to melt faster, fresh water will flow more strongly into the sea, experts say. As a result, the Gulf Stream could 'blip'. According to one of the new modeling scenarios, the current system will collapse by the middle of this century and the Earth's northern hemisphere will cool rapidly in about 60-70 years. At the same time, heat and drought will increase near the equator, sea levels will rise, hurricanes and floods will become more frequent. This could lead to serious problems as well as food crises.
