Here’s what we can do for you.

Malta is an island nation that is a popular destination for expatriates and international businesses. If you are planning to expand your business in Malta and hire new team members abroad, you will need to ensure that the foreign employees you will hire have the necessary permits and visas they need to work legally in Malta.

 

Hiring the right employees is crucial. And although most businesses know the importance of a talented workforce, they will not always know the best way to find them and how to meet Malta’s employment compliance laws, nor have the time to recruit and onboard employees while running the business.


In some cases, sourcing the talent you need might take longer than expected. This is why several companies choose to outsource the recruitment process to save money and time. Here is where 4C Personnel comes in.

We are here to connect people and jobs—and support both applicants and employers to make the hiring process as smooth, efficient, and hassle-free as possible for all parties involved.

Laws against discrimination

Most of your legal obligations focus on preventing discriminatory practices.

Developing the employment contract

If you are looking to hire employees in Malta, you should start with an employment contract that includes relevant policies and figures.

Malta employment laws

Malta’s employment compliance laws apply to working hours and overtime after you hire an employee.

Onboarding

After recruiting your employees, you are required to engage them directly on your business’ books, and make sure you start off the relationship on the right footing.

Note: If you are hiring talents outside of Malta and non-EU nationals, you’ll need to follow a separate hiring process, with which we can help. (Read on for more information about our services.)

The general rule of thumb is that the candidate books their Visa appointment following the Visa application process in their country.** If granted a Visa, candidates can then travel to Malta and start their employment. We gladly provide assistance to employers and candidates (if required) after the candidate arrives in Malta.

 

Candidates from EU member states will not have to go through the Visa process. Visa procedures need only be undertaken by candidates coming from outside the EU.

Note:
*Maltese candidates, once hired, will not undergo the ID Malta process but will be directly registered by their new employer with Jobsplus.
**Please check your country of residence as to Visa requirements, if any, as Visa arrangements between the EU and other countries outside the EU may vary. There is no guarantee that the Visa will be approved or granted.
