Hi all
I have been doing research on what it takes to move to Malta and it looks easy for me as an EU citizen. The problem comes with bringing my partner with me who is from New Zealand.
From what I've found it seems that I have to apply for the residency first, I am not sure whether the 'ordinary' one or 'permanent' ? Once I have that she can apply as my spouse, which brings the question what evidences would we have to provide for her to be officially recognized as such since we're not married. I haven't found any details regarding this and I guess me just stating that she is my partner won't be sufficient.
We have been together for a couple of years but I'm afraid I don't have much evidence. In case this will be a problem, anybody has experience with getting the work permit for the entry level positions? She can look for a job while she is there in the 90 days visa-free period but do the companies even bother dealing with immigration for these positions (proving that maltese or eu citizens are not available) or they always prefer and have enough eu applicants?
Thank you very much for your replies
