In-Country Course
An orientation course that may be required for permit renewals, taken after arriving in Malta.
The in-country orientation course is a requirement that may apply to Single Permit renewals. Unlike the pre-departure course (taken before arrival), the in-country course is completed while you are already living and working in Malta.
The course covers similar topics to the pre-departure course but focuses on practical integration — local services, rights enforcement, and cultural adaptation. The exact requirements and scope are still being defined by Identità Malta — check with them directly to confirm whether this applies to your renewal.
