A third-country national employed for less than six months may apply for a residence permit upon the presentation of a valid employment license issued for that period from Jobsplus.

Once the Residence Document is issued, an Application for Less than 6 Months must be submitted to cover the complete validity term specified on the employment license.

Such permit is NOT renewable. In case the third-country national wishes to reside and work in Malta for six months or more, a Single Work Permit is required.

An application with Identità for Employment Less than 6 Months can be submitted through the Expatriates Portal against a fee of €50.
