3-I heard something like getting divorced only possible after 4 years. Just wondering is this real?

planning on divorce already ?

Malta has a no-fault divorce, with the marriage being dissolved through a Court judgement following the request of one of the parties, provided the couple has lived apart for at least four years out of the previous five, so would only be available after 4 years if you never lived together after getting married

be sure you can prove a durable relationship of at least two years.....

depends on your realationship duration

in the case that the relationship has been subsisting  for two years, a residence permit valid for one year is granted. if documentary evidence is produced showing that the couple have been living together in such a realtionship for 5 years preceeding the application in question ,  a residence permit  for 3 years is issued to the third country national.  requests for a residence permit by a third country national whose relationship is below the two year period mentioned above are considered on the merits of the case. if the request is acceded to, a temporary permit for a period determined by the director is granted to the foreign national concerned

Talking about keeping the forum clean, perhaps you could avoid the sort of language you used in your previous post! (No7)

it will likely be down to the discretion of the immigration director on duty at the time - and usually they will require evidence of a durable relationship of more than 2 years  - i dont make the rules, nor do i apply them  - but they do and its on record in many of malta administrative processes within depts that rules etc sometimes get fouled up in transition or translation and can often be one thing one minute and another thing the next.. dependng on who you see and whether they have had a good day or not.
