Family Reunification Permit is an official family route for eligible applicants who meet the current nationality, purpose, sponsorship, financial, document and admissibility rules published by the competent authority.
The verified roadmap from starting your application to the grant.
Confirm that the sponsor has valid Maltese residence, generally two years of lawful continuous residence, stable income, accommodation and health insurance.
Prepare passports, relationship certificates, sponsor residence card, income evidence, accommodation evidence, insurance and translated or legalised documents where required.
Submit the application through the official Identita family reunification route. Family members should normally be outside Malta when the request is made.
Pay the official fee and await the decision. Maltese rules allow processing up to nine months, though Identita notes many applications are processed earlier.
If approved, follow visa entry instructions where needed and complete residence card formalities after arrival.
