The reality about Non-EU workers in Malta

[@AlexinMalta]

IMPORTANT: The process of getting the work permit it can take 4 months in some cases 6 months. LEGALLY you cannot work until the work permit is ready. Many people end up working on the “black market” risking to get deported. Lately there have been a lot of raids where they try to find illegal workers in Malta. Please be careful❤

Thank you for this. I was offered 1000/month as a Waiter for Malta but now watching your videos I don't know how I can survive with that. This video is an eye opener and made me realized things.

[@AlexinMalta]

Im glad! Well, how people survive if they get offered that amount: finding part time that brings 400e more, sharing a room or an apartment. But still cost of living is high so check my other videos to get more insights

[@shwinaucks1850]

Accountants, software engineer and aviation have good salaries and easiest to get working permit nowadays. They are for KEI. Concerning the salary and rent i agree perfectly. Transport as well... Countries like Portugal and Cyprus have cheaper salaries though but rent is also high compared to income(wanted to move recently 😂) It's a good eye opener. I enjoyed your video. The situation is deteriorating here...

[@AlexinMalta]

You can source these positions but not as easy as before

[@milosarac]

For people who are considering to move to Malta, Alex is very objective and realistic. There was a time when you could live a decent life with normal wage but now everything change. Rent is abnormally high, Maltese people become more and more greedy and lazy. TCN (Third Country Nationals) are suffering in this small island. Low wages, high rent, cost of living. If you are not EU and you don't have skills or personal business, DON'T COME. There is much better countries in EU. Dont get me wrong, Malta is beautiful but conditions for non EU are terrible. Now days , actually, couple of years, trend is that Maltese people importing TCN and asking a lot of money for that. Indians are paying up to 10,000 EUR to come to Malta as Nepali and rest of TCN. Up to 6 months approval for Single Work Permit, Change of Employment goes the same. No Customer Care, No Help. People ends up with lawyers and empty pockets. My advice is: THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU COME.

ANOTHER GREAT, INFORMATIVE AND HELPFUL VIDEO ESPECIALLY TO "INTERESTED PARTIES" - Free of Charge 😇. However, as far as I'm aware from credible /reliable "Malta News sources" and "contacts ⚖" : (1) Indian🇮🇳 national Akhil George (wish him a speedy recovery 🙏) was attacked in Marsa by two "SOMALI 🇸🇴" nationals NOT by MALTESE., (2) there would/could be enough Maltese workers to work in the tourism/hospitality industry BUT they prefer to work in better jobs for better money ESPECIALLY NOW that, as you well explained, these employers dropped the wages they pay eager migrants and created a "cheap labour" environment/industry in the process. We've discussed this IMMORAL practices before and it happens worldwide (including here 🇦🇺 sorry to say ). THANKS ALEX 🎤 🎥 👏. Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™

You make some great points, Alex , but you experience this in most countries as an expat, the good and the bad. I think people should be aware of that not just a Maltese thing as you know. Regarding the attacks, very poor, I agree , but let's be honest, Marsa has its issues with expat communities for a long time and trouble. We can't just use the Maltese word regarding this.

[@AlexinMalta]

Thank you :) yes, expats experience common things in each country, however my channel is about Malta so we gonna stick with this lovely island 🥰

[@welcometomyhobbyworld]

In my opinion Malta emloyers have to improve some items on agreement: 1.They have to pay money for breakfast or lunch and transportation. 2.If rents are high, employers have to pay some extra money for supporting rents. 3.Annually people will need an extra (bonus) payment because of high inflation rates. 4.KEI form shouldnt be for only one employer, up to 2-3 employers, employee will need to change company for better salary options, so no need to wait for another working visa for new employer.

@@libatalklieb5793 Inflation rate can be balanced with increasing interest rates. Or tax rates will be decreased by govrn. I dont mean increase salaries from 2000 to 3000 euros. 200-300 euro will be enough means 10% increase in monthly net salary.

I'm trying to look at my options here, I just want to know what I'm getting into when it comes to an African American like me choosing to move to Malta job wise. Love your videos

[@helenunsworth5157]

Same scenario... You'd require a non EU work permit, currently taking 4-6 months to process during which time you're unable to work. If you find work paying over €30k, apply for KEI, takes approx 2-3 months currently. Do your sums... Wages are very very low here compared to cost of living. Minimum wage €700 net full time pay... And rent of 1 room in shared apartment is €400-500 per month!!!

You can only start work if you get your work permit issued... Do not start work without this. Presently these are taking 4-6 months to issue. Do not be convinced by the employer if they say training / trial / start and we'll apply... You run the risk of being caught, fined, deported and banned from returning. If KEI, you're looking at about 2 months to issue permit.

The moral of the story is: Get an education before moving! Instead of paying 5000, 10,000 for some scammer to get you to Malta, spend 5000 on a university degree, then you can come alone and earn decent money. We Maltese want foreigners not because we need them for restaurants and shops - we want foreigners because we all have apartments to rent to them - that way we don't need to work to earn more than we could earn through a salary and guess what? Because we live so cheap, we tend to buy more and more and more - and only start living a luxury life after we have around 10 or more :)
