Cea Form C – Malta Non-EU Residence Permit Employment Application

Cea Form C PDF Details

The CEA Form C, officially the Application for a Residence Permit Employment, is required for non-EU nationals who wish to live and work in Malta. It applies to anyone who is not a citizen of the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, or Switzerland.

The form applies under two procedures. The Single Application Procedure combines a residence permit and a work permit into one unified process for third-country nationals legally residing in Malta. The form may also be used outside this procedure where separate work permits are required.

Information you must provide includes:

• Full personal details (name, date of birth, nationality, and travel document information)
• Current and previous employment history
• Expected period of employment with the Maltese employer
• Permanent address abroad and current Malta address
• Employer details including VAT registration number and employer registration number
• Employment license details, where required by Maltese regulations

Supporting documents typically required alongside the CEA Form C:

• Valid passport or travel document
• Proof of professional qualifications relevant to your employment role
• Evidence of health insurance coverage for your stay in Malta
• Employment contract or letter of engagement from your Maltese employer

All information submitted must be accurate and complete. The form also serves as a data protection declaration, authorizing disclosure of your personal details to the governmental and public bodies evaluating your residency application.

Non-EU nationals must ensure all supporting documents are gathered before submission to avoid delays. If your role requires it, an employment license from the relevant Maltese authority must be obtained. For other related immigration documents, the general work permit application and the Schengen visa application form may also be relevant to your situation in Europe.
