Reside In Malta Whilst Being Employed With A Foreign Company

On the 2nd of June 2021, the Residency Malta Agency jointly with Identity Malta launched a new residence permit - Nomad Residence Permit ("NRP") for third-country nationals. The Nomad Residence Permit enables holders to legally reside in Malta whilst retaining their employment with an employer based in another country, provided they can work remotely by using telecommunications technologies independently of their location and the location of their employer.

The applicant needs to inform Residency Malta Agency of the duration of stay, which can be between 91 days and 180 days or 181 days and 365 days. Applicants who intend to spend no more than 180 days in Malta will be issued with a National Visa while those who intend to spend up to 365 days or more will be issued with a residence permit.
