Malta Suspends New Permits For Y-Plate Workers & Food Couriers

Oct 4 2024

As of July 2024, an evaluation by Jobsplus has confirmed that Malta has an adequate supply of Y-plate workers and food couriers.

Consequently, new applications for work permits in these sectors are no longer being accepted, affecting both individuals outside Malta and those wishing to change employers.

Since the decision was made, no approvals have been granted for additional third-country nationals in these fields.

In fact, from July 1st until now, the number of employed third-country nationals in these sectors has decreased by 587. Jobsplus is actively conducting labor market tests to assess the genuine need for workers in these areas.

According to their analysis, Malta now requires fewer workers than it did in July.

Therefore, the number of third-country nationals allowed in these sectors will be lower than the number that exited. As a result, Jobsplus will continue to reject work permit applications for these sectors from individuals outside Malta, meaning no third-country nationals can work here.

It will also gradually approve a limited number of permits for those already working full-time in Malta who have applied for part-time work in these sectors, as well as those already employed in Malta seeking positions in these areas. Individuals without existing work permits will not be considered.

Buckle up, burger fans—McDonald’s Malta just levelled up your crispy cravings with the launch of not one, but two new McCrispy burgers! Following the successful McCrispy debut last year, these new additions take things sideways (literally) while still serving up that iconic crunch you know and love.

McDonald’s is all about that CRISP, and they’re not shy about it. This new drop plays with movement and sound to exaggerate every bite. Think of it like an ASMR dream in burger form, with the crisp crunch as the star of the show.

Hungry yet? You’re not alone. Whether you’re a fan of the OG McCrispy or looking to sink your teeth into something new, these two burgers are here to satisfy your crispy needs—one bite at a time.
