01:07 – Brexit: UK nationals in Malta
With two weeks until Brexit and no deal in sight yet, the Maltese government is urging UK nationals to register for a ten-year residency card.
Similarly, irrespective of how long they have been living in the UK, Maltese people should register their residency before the end of the year.
A lot of things are still uncertain however the Maltese authorities have advised that UK nationals had until June 2021 to apply for a residency card in Malta.
So far, a total of 13,000 UK nationals applied for a residency in Malta
On the other hand, a total of 5,580 Maltese people have applied to regularise their residency in the UK through the EU Settlement Scheme.
Foreign Affairs Minister Evarist Bartolo urged people to prepare for all possible scenarios, especially considering that Brexit will impact all sectors.
He said Malta has always called for a close relationship between the UK and the EU, however, this also depended on the British government.
The minister added that the Maltese government was still holding discussions with the UK about issues that fall outside of the EU’s remit, such as specialised medical treatment and training for medical professionals.

Chamber of Commerce president David Xuereb stated that discussions between the UK and the EU were geared towards some sort of agreement.
