Hi

Guys

Quick question - Can my Non-Eu wife look for employment while we are waiting for our ID/Residence certs.

Thanks
Smeddie

Yes, she can work while waiting for this documentation.

Nor does she require an employment license / work permit.

And in reality?

Thanks folks.

Let me go to ETC for clarity!

Thanks
Meddie

the etc didnt even know the work permit rules when we went a few months ago - we had to explain that we as EU didnt need a work permit then they checked and said we were correct - which we already knew - but how many dont?

Hi Meddie,

probably the best -))

Let us know the reality.

Hi Meddie,

I read something on another forum which confirms what Byron49 as said. Let me know how you get on at ETC. oh and btw, Happy b-day mate

Hi

Folks,

After visiting the ETC centre in Qawra and a length conversation with the main centre in Har-Far, I can now unofficially confirm that à non-eu spouse can legally work in Malta without à permit or before his/her ID/Residence certs is approved.

As toon said, the front office personnel dont know anything but once they ask around and make à few phone calls, information is obtained and then passed on.

Thanks
Smeddie
