                                      Posted: Tue Oct 17, 2006 3:56 am&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 18px; line-height: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;WORK PERMITS IN MALTA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Government Policy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All foreign nationals require a work permit to work in Malta.  In respect of foreigners, the Government maintains a very restrictive policy and employment licences are granted only in exceptional circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Such work permits are issued to employers wishing to engage foreigners for a determined period and for a specific purpose, ONLY after it has been ascertained that every effort has been made to engage a suitable Maltese citizen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Conditions for the Issue of a Licence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. The applicant must be in possession of a job offer from an employer in Malta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. The applicant must possess a specialist skill or qualification which is lacking in Malta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. A significant demand must exist in a particular sector e.g. construction workers, qualified nurses, tourist guides with particular language skills...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Upon the request of a potential employer and on satisfying the above criteria, an employment licence will be issued by the Director of Labour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Validity &amp;amp; Renewal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Employment licences are normally issued valid for one year. Licenses valid for up to three years may also be applied for at the express request of the employer and provided sufficient justification is given.  Licences may be renewed thereafter where a request to that effect is justified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Residence Permit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A residence permit is automatically granted with the approval of a work permit for the applicant and his/her spouse. However, this does not entitle the spouse to work or automatically  qualify for an employment licence unless demand for work is felt in the respective field.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Indefinite Permits&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where a foreign national is an investor in the manufacturing or financial services sector and holds substantial shareholding (40%) in the enterprise, the relative permit may be issued indefinitely.</description>
