Working hours

With the employer, for each role.
A 9:00 to 17:00 working day in Central European Time is 09:00 to 17:00 in Valletta.
9:00–17:00 back home is 09:00–17:00 in Valletta: exactly the same hours. Your actual hours are agreed with the employer for each job.
Why people pick it
why Malta.
- No time difference at all with employers in CET.
- English is an official language, next to Maltese.
- A big community of Nordic, German and Dutch speakers, thanks to the gaming and tech industries.
- Short flights to most European capitals.
Good to know
before you go.
- Rents in popular areas like Sliema and St Julian’s can be high; quieter towns are often better value.
- The island is small, which is great for weekends and less great for traffic.
EU and EEA citizens can live in Malta under free movement rules and register with Identità. Non-EU citizens can look at the Nomad Residence Permit from Residency Malta. Check the official sources before you move, because rules change.
