One of my mate is Fijian and she has a permanent residence in Denmark and she wants to apply for a residency card here in Malta.  Any advice/help to start with the first step of applying would be appreciated.  I checked around but didn't go through my thick head.  Just need the first step and than she will follow it. Thanks

She has to decide under which category to apply and then fill in the form and supply the supporting documents. The fact that she has permanent residency in Denmark won't help her here in Malta.

She can choose from residency after being granted a work permit, through the investment scheme or buying a Maltese passport or studying in Malta. THe other options probably don't apply.

Her problem will be that to apply for residency in Malta she will have to give up her permanent residency in Denmark. She can't have both .

Her residency in Malta will be , at the best, from year to year for a few years!

What residency category is she looking at ?

Cheers
