The full guide

Malta's Blue Card salary threshold (1.5x the national average) is non-negotiable and moves each year with NSO Labour Force Survey data — it rose substantially to roughly €38,628 for 2026. Worth knowing before choosing this route: Malta also runs a separate Key Employee Initiative (KEI) fast-track scheme for skilled workers, which may suit some applicants better depending on their specific situation — the two aren't identical, and it's worth comparing before committing to one application path.
