With a population of around 542,051, Malta has significant labor shortages, particularly in the business and administration, culinary and hospitality, and transport sectors. To solve this problem, Malta is actively looking for foreign workers, especially high-level workers. The Maltese government has launched initiatives such as the Specialist Employees Initiative (SEI) to attract such talent.
The Malta Employment Association emphasizes the importance of foreign workers to maintain economic growth and meet industrial demands. According to the 2022 EURES report, the 16 most in-demand jobs in Malta are:
– Accounting and bookkeeping officers
– Executive and executive secretaries
– Advertising and marketing specialists
– Construction workers
– Car, taxi and vans
– Cooks
– Contact Center Information Officers
– General offices
– Managing directors and CEOs
– Production workers
– Shippers, package drivers and porters
– Office supervisors
– Security guards
– Store clerks
– Software developers
– Waiters
Citizens of EU/EEA/Swiss Foreign Countries require a work visa to work in Malta. Maltese authorities issue various work permits, including the Single Entry Permit, the Key Employment Initiative and the EU Blue Card.
Malta’s proactive approach to recruiting foreign workers underlines its commitment to addressing labor shortages and supporting economic development. For more details, you can reach out to us only on visa@gogpl.in.
