European Economic Area (EEA) Nationals

EEA Nationals have the privilege to reside in Malta while they exercise their treaty rights. This includes roles as workers, self-employed individuals, self-sufficient persons, family members, exempt individuals, or students.

Non-European Union Nationals

For students who don’t fall under the provisions of Subsidiary Legislation 217.22 and are pursuing courses exceeding 90 days, the opportunity to work in Malta arises. Access to employment comes with conditions set by Jobsplus, including sectors where these students can work. After their initial three months of study in Malta, students can apply for a Jobs Plus Work Permit and upon receiving the Work Permit, students can work a maximum of 20 hours per week Part-Time. Keep in mind that these provisions may change as per the discretion of the Ministry responsible for Jobsplus.

Non-European Union Nationals pursuing a full-time course leading to a recognized higher education qualification by MQRIC can work for a maximum of 20 hours per week, starting from their first year of study. In such cases, students can apply for a work permit once they receive a residence permit, which includes reference to S.L. 217.22. It’s important to note that work permit applications are more likely to be approved if the employment offer aligns with the student’s chosen field of study.
