If you are married, your partner can stay as long as you can as you are an EU citizen - she will be a dependent of yours

Even if not married, if you can prove a long term relationship, the same thing applies, but its not automatic as it is for married partner

Ok, well we can prove we have been together a while, half our friends are ex British Embassy in Trip.
Will pop down the Malta office and see what sense I can beat out of them.
Thanks
OB

good luck guys

From personal experience I can say that you will need to show/prove that you have been in a stable relationship for more than 2 years if you are not married.

The Maltese in Castille will try to nail you down to having lived together for at least 2 years, preferably in Malta. So you will need all proof that you can get that you have been living at the same address in Malta or elsewhere for more than 2 years.

I'm not sure if the British Embassy will be much help. In our case they were no help. We had to fall back on Maltese friends who happen to work for the Maltese government. Their cover letter re us was accepted as proof after a few discussions.

For you to stay here you will need to show them either enough 'money' or a job to fund your stay and also health insurance entitlement for both of you here in Malta.

Good luck.
