Yes. Blue Card time counts toward EU long-term residence, and the Blue Card framework can let you combine time across EU member states.
The EU Blue Card is designed as a route toward long-term residence for highly skilled workers. Time spent legally residing and working on a Blue Card counts toward the residence period required for EU long-term resident status.
A distinctive feature of the Blue Card is that, under EU rules, periods spent in different member states on a Blue Card can be combined toward long-term residence, subject to conditions. To rely on this, confirm with Identita how your specific time in Malta and elsewhere will be counted and what additional requirements (such as continuous residence) apply.
