Overview
Malta is one of Europe's biggest hubs for the iGaming industry (online gaming/betting) as well as for multilingual customer service at international companies. Popular places to live and work are Valletta, Sliema and St. Julian's. The tourism sector also offers plenty of seasonal roles.
Work permit
As an EU citizen, you don't need a separate work permit for Malta. After arriving, you should register with local authorities fairly soon and apply for a Maltese social security number – this is needed for payroll and is usually quick to sort out with the employer's support.
Salary & cost of living
Many entry-level positions in customer service and iGaming support don't require prior experience – the right language skills matter most. Relocation support (e.g. help with visas, finding housing, or moving costs) is common among international employers in Malta, and it's worth actively asking about during the application process.
Language requirements
English is an official language alongside Maltese, so most employers expect it at least at "Fluent (B2-C1)" level in addition to the customer-facing language (e.g. German).
As of 2026. Not legal or tax advice – please check current regulations with the relevant Maltese authorities or a professional advisor.
