Self Employment for TCN with Long Term Residency

Have you checked Malta Enterprise's website Business First (http://www.businessfirst.com.mt/en)? You should find all the information there. If not, I would suggest you call at their offices (ex-St. Luke's Hospital in G'Mangia). They are very helpful.
I've been there 3 times and I have been served very well every time.

Hi Nev,

I quote from the ETC Guidelines :

Employment licences are also needed in respect of persons who enjoy long-term residence status (in terms of Legal Notice 278 of 2006). These licences are not subject to labour market considerations.

..........................

Long-term residents, Asylum Seekers, and persons enjoying Subsidiary Protection/Temporary Humanitarian Protection Status and Refugee Status require an employment licence to work as self-employed in Malta. However, they are exempt from meeting the above criteria ( see ETC Guidelines)

So , considering these regulations, you should apply for a regular work permit.

You apply for a VAT number and pay your SSC 3 times a year  using your NI number. Contacting Malta Enterprise is very good advice too ! -))

Cheers
