Why Malta Should Be Your Next Work Destination

If you're thinking of working abroad and want a beautiful, safe, English-speaking country with real opportunities—Malta could be the perfect choice.

Located in the heart of the Mediterranean, Malta is a small island nation with a big demand for foreign workers. With strong job security, fast visa processing, and the possibility to settle long term, Malta is ideal for both first-time applicants and experienced migrant workers.

Job Opportunities in Malta

Malta has a growing economy and a shortage of workers in many industries, such as:

• Hospitality & Tourism (hotels, restaurants, casinos)

• Construction & Skilled Trades

• Warehouse & Factory Work

• Caregiving and Cleaning Services

  
  

Most employers offer contracts of 1–2 years with possible renewal and sponsorship.

Salary and Working Conditions

• Average salary: €800 to €1,200 per month

• Working hours: 8–10 hours/day, 5–6 days/week

• Additional perks: Overtime pay, tips (in hospitality), free uniforms, and occasional bonuses

  
  

Some employers provide free accommodation or a housing allowance, and jobs usually come with standard employment benefits.

Cost of Living in Malta

Malta is more affordable than many Western European countries, though slightly more expensive than Eastern Europe. Here's an overview:

Expense	Average Monthly Cost
Shared Housing	€200 – €350
Food & Groceries	€150 – €200
Transport (bus)	€25 – €40
Utilities	€40 – €60

You can live comfortably and even save money or send remittances with good budgeting.

Visa Process

Malta offers a single permit system for non-EU workers. This combines your work and residence permit into one.

• Processing time: 1 to 3 months

• Documents needed: Passport, job offer/contract, accommodation proof, medical insurance

• Work Permit Duration: Usually 1 year, renewable

Recruitment agencies (like ours) guide you through the process and handle much of the paperwork for you.

Pathway to Residency and Family Relocation

After five years of legal employment, you can apply for long-term residence in Malta. It’s also possible to bring your spouse and children once you’re settled and earning a stable income.

Malta also offers:

• Free public education for children

• Affordable healthcare (public and private)

• A safe environment with low crime rates

It’s known for:

• Year-round sunshine
