The Work Permit Issue
Malta’s employment policy gives preference to local staff over foreigners, however, if subsequently, the search for local staff proves negative the authorities will consider a request for the employment of non-Maltese nationals. 

1. Applying for the work permit.

An application form for the issuing of an employment license for a third country national will be supplied for the employer to complete. In addition CMIS will assist in the preparation of a letter to the ETC giving reasons for the application, and to which will be attached doctors certificates and / or references supporting the reason for the request.
We will assist in its completion and from the date of submitting the application, we can expect a period of 3 months to process the request.

2. As a guideline, we list the main factors which ETC take into consideration when granting a work permit :-

Sufferers from disability or chronic disease.
Looking after children suffering from a condition that creates difficulty for the parents. This ranges from hyper-active to illnesses or disability.
Parents with children whose work prevents them from looking after their house and family in an adequate way.
One parent families who find it difficult to cope with holding down a job whilst looking after their home and children.
Elderly persons that need a house carer to look after their daily needs and to keep her company.
Grandparents that need help looking after their grandchildren.
