How long is a Malta EU Blue Card valid and can it be renewed?

The Blue Card residence permit in Malta is normally granted for up to two years, or for the duration of your employment contract plus a short additional period, whichever is shorter. It can be renewed while you continue to meet the conditions.

At renewal you typically need a valid employment contract that still meets the salary threshold and proof of ongoing health insurance. Apply before the current card expires to keep your right to live and work in Malta uninterrupted, and confirm the exact validity rules with Identita.
