Hi,
I hope you guys are doing well and that you could fend off the covid. I really need answers
concerning family reunification in Malta, unfortunately there's nothing on the web about it. so my questions are:
1) how long it generaly takes to have an answer from Identity Malta, knowing that we applied last week?
2) we have seen in the checklist, that the sponsor must stay for a minimum period of 2 years in Malta in order to apply for a family reunion, unfortunately I came to Malta in the last of October 2019. so is it realy mandatory to stay 2 years?
Please note that my salary meets the requirements, and that both of us are algerians, and finaly, she actualy is in algeria.
thank you so much, and stay safe !

It says 2 years for a reason.
Minimum two years as proven non dependent then you may apply.

If you were referring to my answer, you need patience here as it takes a long time to get an answer from any government department.

Family reunification application by law is processed up to 9 months.
As far as I know normally takes 4-6 months here.
