Specialist routes

Key Employee Initiative and Specialist Employee Initiative in Malta

Guidance on Malta's highly skilled and specialist employment routes, including eligibility checks, salary thresholds and supporting documentation.

Check the route before moving quickly

Fast-track or specialist routes can be useful, but they depend on current criteria. Eligibility, salary thresholds, processing times and documentary requirements may change and should be checked before submission.

Employer and applicant alignment

The role description, contract, remuneration and applicant background should support the route being used.

Practical use cases

These routes may be relevant for highly skilled hires, specialist employees and employers seeking a more focused process for eligible candidates.

Get guidance before the next step

Migration and relocation decisions tend to move quickly. A short conversation can help identify what needs to be checked, prepared or coordinated before the matter becomes urgent.
