Introduction
Dream International, a licensed manpower & visa consultancy with offices in Doha (Qatar) and Sylhet (Bangladesh), helps workers from Bangladesh and the Gulf region secure European jobs. While Malta is available on request, we provide end-to-end support for those seeking a Malta work permit from Saudi Arabia. This guide covers everything you need to know about the Malta visa appointment process, required documents, processing times, and how to get started.
Malta Work Visa Appointment from Saudi Arabia: Overview
Malta, a Schengen member, offers work permits for skilled and semi-skilled workers. If you are currently residing in Saudi Arabia (as a Bangladeshi expat or other nationality), you can apply for a Malta work visa through Dream International. The process involves several stages, from document preparation to visa appointment booking. Our team ensures you meet all requirements and guides you through each step.
Key Requirements for Malta Work Visa from Saudi Arabia
Before you begin the appointment process, ensure you have these documents ready:
- Passport valid for at least 18 months from the date of application
- National ID (NID) – original and copy
- Passport-size photographs – 6 recent photos with white background
- Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) with attestation from relevant authorities
- Updated CV highlighting work experience
- Experience certificates from previous employers
- Medical certificate from an approved clinic
- Employment contract from the Maltese employer (provided by Dream International)
- Proof of residence in Saudi Arabia (Iqama copy)
- NOC (No Objection Certificate) from your current Saudi employer (if applicable)
Additional documents may be required based on the job type and employer. Our consultants will check your file before submission.
Step-by-Step Malta Visa Appointment Process
1. Initial Consultation with Dream International
Contact our Doha office (WhatsApp: +974 7138 2220) to discuss your profile. We evaluate your eligibility, match you with a Maltese employer, and outline the package cost (exact amount confirmed at our office).
2. Document Collection and Verification
After you agree to proceed, we guide you on gathering and attesting all documents. We strictly use genuine papers – zero fake documents. Our team verifies everything to avoid rejection.
3. File Submission to Employer
Your file is sent to the Maltese employer for approval. This stage includes submitting scanned copies of your documents. The employer then applies for a work permit on your behalf.
4. Work Permit Approval
Once the Malta authorities approve the permit, we notify you. The processing time is usually 3–4 months, but can be faster depending on the job and employer.
5. Visa Application Appointment
After permit approval, you need to apply for the actual visa at the Malta embassy or visa application centre. Currently, there is no Malta embassy in Saudi Arabia; appointments are typically scheduled at the VFS Global centre in Riyadh or Jeddah. Dream International assists in booking your appointment and preparing the visa application form.
6. Attend Visa Interview (if required)
You may be called for an interview. Our team provides interview tips and ensures you carry all original documents. The visa decision is solely at the discretion of the Maltese embassy.
7. Visa Issuance and Travel
If approved, your passport will be stamped with the Malta work visa. You can then travel to Malta and start your employment. Remember: No Visa, No Payment – you only pay the full package after successful visa issuance.
Important Considerations for Saudi Residents
- Salary Requirements for Visit Visa: If you are applying for a Europe tourist/visit visa from Saudi Arabia, the minimum salary is 5000 QAR monthly (or equivalent in SAR). For work permits, no minimum salary is required, but you must have a valid contract.
- NOC from Employer: Most Maltese work visas require a No Objection Certificate from your current Saudi employer. Plan ahead and discuss with your employer.
- Processing Time: Typically 3–4 months from start to visa approval. Track your file using your passport number and email on our tracking page or mobile app.
- Costs: The exact package cost is confirmed at our office. It covers all fees except personal expenses like PCC attestation or medical tests.
Malta Work Permit: Benefits and Salary Expectations
Malta offers competitive salaries for foreign workers. Typical monthly wages range from €500–€600 for non-Schengen countries (Malta is Schengen, so salaries are higher) €800–€1000 depending on your skills and employer. Benefits often include accommodation allowance, health insurance, and annual leave.
