Students from the EU/EEA can work in Malta without a permit, just like Maltese students.
Students from outside the EU may work up to 20 hours a week after their first three months of study; full-time students on a higher education course recognised by MQRIC may start in their first year. You apply for a work permit once your residence permit has been issued, and Jobsplus may restrict some sectors.
