Residence - Non Eu and Maltese marriage

I am British but married a Maltese citizen some years prior to Malta joining the EU. Shortly after our marriage, my husband applied for "Freedom of Movement" for me which permitted me to live and work in Malta.

Checking the Maltese government website, it would appear this option is still available to foreign spouses of Maltese citizens. Perhaps if you check with Identity Malta this could be applicable in your case.

A Freedom of Movement application requires the couple's marriage certificate confirming their marriage has been registered with the Maltese Public Registry.
