Hi everyone,
I'm in Malta studying on a 2 year course at the university but I intend to stay after my course and I have just bought a flat here.
I need to apply for the residence permit and know I can apply for it on the basis of being a student but I would like to know if I can also apply under the Self-sufficiency category as I support myself by renting out my spare room.
I've tried to do lots of research online but it doesn't seem clear if I can do it on this basis too (it's looks as though I could but I don't know if they would only accept if I was in employment)
Will I get the resident permit for just the number of years I am studying here? If yes, this is why I'm thinking it might be better to apply as Self-sufficient if it would mean I would get a resident permit for more years-maybe I am wrong
Any advice would be much appreciated!
