The Malta Institute of Accountants (MIA) received feedback from members that companies were having difficulties with the process of employing foreign nationals. Therefore, on 10^th of March 2020 MIA held an information session conducted by Identity Malta and Jobsplus in order to facilitate the process of employing foreign nationals, with special emphasis on third country nationals.

This session informed employers and Human Resource practitioners on the policies and procedures relating to the employment of non-Maltese nationals, highlighting ways how applicants can facilitate such a process including tips in this regard. Identity Malta went through the new procedures of how to use the online single permit system and how to fill in an application. The online single permit system application on behalf of third country nationals can be accessed following this link https://singlepermit.gov.mt/. In the information session Jobsplus covered the checklist including the labour market testing that has to be done, the reason why such tests need to be done and how the process has been simplified.

This session was well attended and had to be restricted to a limited number of people in order to be able to answer the queries of the members on a one to one basis. If  you are a member of MIA and you  are interested in attending a repeat of this session please send an e-mail to technical@miamalta.org.
