Hello,
I am from Australia! I am considering moving to Malta to work as an English teacher. It seems to be an incredibly complicated process... but I might be wrong.
I have learnt that it can take months to receive an employment license. To get an employment license, I already need to be employed... right? Although, to be employed as an English teacher, I need to already have a teaching permit, which I can only get in Malta as I will need to sit a test. This means I will have to move to Malta with no job, get the teaching permit, and wait around for two months with nothing to do, when I may not even get the license to work.
If I could apply from home and wait a few months, well that's fine. The problem is I need the teaching permit to get a job in the first place.
Is this a difficult situation, or have I gone over it so many times that I can't see a way around it? Can any TCN, who has worked as an English teacher in Malta, tell me about the process you went through?
Thank you very much!
