Malta is implementing sweeping changes to its labour migration system in 2025, fundamentally transforming how Third Country Nationals (TCNs) work and live in the country. These reforms, spearheaded by Home Affairs Minister Byron Camilleri, represent the most significant overhaul of Malta's migration framework in recent years, with implications for both employers and foreign workers.

Overview of the Malta Labour Migration Policy

The new Malta Labour Migration Policy is built on four core principles: retention and stability, protection of employee rights, aligning labour migration with labour market needs, and a skills-based approach to migration.
