Therefore, the employee cannot use the permit to take up a different job, or to work for a different employer even on a part-time basis. The work permit is issued in respect of third country nationals who work with a specific employer to perform a specific job. As a result the relevant authorities must produce a single document which is commonly referred to as the e-Residence card, which would thus enable the individual to both work and reside in Malta.
This application is aimed at third-country nationals who wish to both reside and work in Malta. Primarily, the Single Permit application process was introduced by Directive 2001/98 and consequently it was transposed into our law. It is to be remarked that in 2014, as a result of the publication of Legal Notice 160 of 2014, the authorisation for Third Country Nationals to work in Malta is now conducted by means of a Single Permit Application. This requirement emanates from the Immigration Act, Chapter 217 of the Laws of Malta, a chapter dealing with the limitations, control and regulation of immigration relating to Malta. An individual who is not a citizen of a European Union Member State (also known as third country nationals) must be in possession of a work permit in order to work and reside legally in Malta.
