Malta Work Visa Fraud: Red Flags Every Applicant Should Know

Malta Work Visa Fraud: Red Flags Every Applicant Should Know

Malta issues foreign workers a single permit covering both residence and employment, processed through Identity Malta in coordination with the employer. Fraudulent agents commonly sell a single-permit approval that was never actually filed, banking on the applicant having no way to check before travelling.

Red flags

  • A single permit or approval letter you can't confirm was filed with Identity Malta
  • An employer who denies any knowledge of your application when contacted directly
  • Fees demanded for "guaranteed approval," which no genuine single-permit process can promise
  • A rushed travel timeline that discourages you from waiting for independent confirmation

Verify before you pay

Identity Malta's Central Visa Unit and Employment and Training Corporation (Jobsplus) are the bodies actually involved in issuing and approving single permits. A permit that can't be traced through these channels should not be relied on, regardless of how official the paperwork looks.

We cannot guarantee a visa is genuine — only the issuing government has the final word. What we provide is evidence: automated screening plus a human specialist's official-source lookup and written verdict.
