The EU Blue Card is Malta's work-and-residence permit for highly qualified non-EU professionals, issued through the single-permit process at Identita's Expatriates Unit. It needs a qualifying job offer meeting a salary threshold and usually a higher-education qualification.
Malta issues the EU Blue Card to highly qualified non-EU professionals through the single-permit process at Identita's Expatriates Unit. To qualify you generally need a binding job offer or employment contract for highly qualified work (typically six months or longer), a higher-education qualification or, for certain roles, equivalent professional experience, and a gross salary at or above the Malta Blue Card threshold. A valid travel document and health insurance are also required.
The card lets you live and work in Malta and offers a path to long-term residence as well as a degree of intra-EU mobility, which makes it attractive for skilled professionals taking up roles that match their qualifications.
Because the salary threshold can be revised, confirm the current figure with the official source before relying on it. ACME can compare your offer against the Blue Card threshold and the fast-track Key Employee Initiative to recommend the stronger route for your situation.
