Hi Christina,
Welcome to the forum.

You could try sending your CV to CareMalta. They are possibly the largest care providers in Malta, running a number of residential homes throughout the island.

There is a vacancies link on their website.   www.caremalta.com

Good luck.

With regards to citizenship if you do not have Maltese ancestry it is very expensive.

Thank you so much for your reply.  I will research CareMalta.  I was hoping if I get a job in Malta, I could possibly become a a citizen.  I was also wandering could I apply to their University to obtain  a b.s.n. in nursing, and if that's possible, would they let me stay in the country permanently.

Once you are here you apply for a residency card normally after three months to become a resident.
Have you visited Malta?  Just wondered why you chose here.

Hi. I never visited Malta, but stumbled across it while on U-tube.  I loved it as soon as I saw its landscapes.  Also listening  to others talk about the island. Malta Reminded me a lot like Italy. Everyone seemed so happy and friendly. There was a sense of peace.

Hi.  Just wandering, what are the requirements to get a residency card?  Are Malta health industries open to offer jobs to non-residents, with hopes  to become a resident.

To obtain a residents card you have to prove you have an income high enough to be self sufficient or
If you intend to work you have to show you are employed.   It’s also worth bearing in mind that any job
offers are firstly offered to Maltese then EU citizens and other nationalities last, wages are also a lot lower here.

Thank you for responding.  If you don't mind me asking, in what line of work are you in? I would perhaps try to get a job before I move to Malta. My ancestors are from Italy. Malta reminds of Italy,everyone seems so hospitable and welcoming.

It’s advisable to come to Malta for a holiday before deciding to move here.
Also jobs are normally offered to local people, EU citizens before TCN.

As your ancestors are from Italy, why not trying to reclaim Italian citizenship? With an Italian passport you are EU citizen and a lot of things are easier. Sicily is just around the corner from Malta and a lot of people from Sicily emigrated to the USA just after the first and second world war. Now I think for at least 3 generations ago you can reclaim the nationality of your ancestors. Recently I read a boy from Tunesia tries to get Maltese citizenship because his grandmother is Maltese and in Germany every day migrants try to get German citizenship because their ancestors were having a German shepherd dog.

I'm actually not Sicilian, My ancestors are from Northern Italy. Such as Calabrese.  I'm pretty sure there's an age limit. I think you have to be under 45 years old. However, I'm not necessarily sure.

Italy is not as bad as some people may think. You do not have to invest € 1 million in order to get the Italian passport. You can get it due to your ancestry and there is no age discrimination. "Iure sanguinis" sounds so good in Italian. Just read the website www.thelocal.it in order to get more information about Italy. Nowadays the Italians even tell British people to apply for an Italian passport in order to make life easier after Brexit. Italy is improving day by day and with a Lega Norte government it will be a leading nation in Europe. Therefore do not be afraid to apply for a passport of "Bella Italia" Of course if you have € 1 million spare money it is no problem to get the maltese passport too.

Have a look on the Italian Forum you may find the information you require.
