To register an employee, including students and interns, with your business or organisation, you need to submit an Engagement Form for each person you hire. Along with this form, specific documents may be required based on the employee's nationality and status:
European Union (EU) National – who is joining the Maltese labour market for the first time (i.e. first time in Malta): Upload a copy of an official identification document along with the form.
Third Country Nationals (TCNs): Upload a copy of the Maltese Residence Card or the Temporary Authorisation to Work document (issued by Identita) who will authorise them to work in Malta until the actual Residence Card is issued. For more information on recruiting TCNs, kindly visit: https://jobsplus.gov.mt/employers-mt-MT-en-GB/employing-persons/third-country-nationals
Third Country Nationals (TCNs) who are dependent on an EU or Maltese National: the engagement form still needs to be filled for each individual separately. In this regard employers are encouraged to have an online account for ease of processing.
Maltese Nationals: Simply fill out the Engagement Form for individuals over 15 years old or those who have completed compulsory schooling.
School Leavers/Minors (as per Article 42 of the Employment and Training Service Act No. XXXIX of 2018)
Short-Term Employment (e.g., Film Extras): The engagement form still needs to be filled for each individual separately. In this regard employers are encouraged to have an online account for ease of processing.
