Salim, the weather in Malta is far too cold for you. You will not like it, you are not used to it. So cold. And the storms!!!

Hi Luzvi,

your future husband has to declare his intention to marry you in writing to apply for the visa. He also has to declare that he will cover all costs related to your stay in Malta until you are married.

You are not allowed to work until you are married and will not get a work permit . If you don't get married ( one never knows) you will have to leave Malta again but your boyfriend will have to pay for your return flight.

Cheers
Ricky

i have my visa in malta until may 2015 i am still allowed to come no question needed.

ricky

Why didn't you come yet ? Your visa is expiring soon .

Are you coming as a tourist ? Do you have a work permit ?

There might be questions but with this little information who knows.

Cheers
Ricky

Hey All,
Just going to throw this out here and hopefully find a resolution. I'm a 27 year old Canadian/American dual citizen currently in Malta on a tourist visa. I am visiting my mother who is semi retired here. I would like to find some way to stay in the country and close to her long term as she is getting on in years. I have looked around for jobs in my field (commercial archaeology) and others such as food service and found that all of them require an EU citizenship or that I must apply from out of country. Most of the websites which I have visited for job/visa information seem to be out of date by years and don't offer any information for immigrants from commonwealth countries aside from Australia.
Any advice would be wonderful, even to say i'm out of luck :)

ricky

Hi Yeti,

as a non-EU citizen you can find a job in Malta and apply for a work permit/residency or get your employer to apply for you but it is very difficult and probably will take long than you have left on your tourist visa.

The terms and conditions for work permits and residency can be found on the websites of the ETC and MHAS.

With your qualifications ( commercial archeology) you would have a good chance that no other EU citizen would qualify for your potential job but ...... you would still have to find one !

You say your mother is semi-retired in Malta? What do you mean by that and what nationality does your mother hold ?

Feel free to give more details or ask questions.

Cheers
Ricky
