Hi there,My long-term partner (UK/Maltese dual national) and I wish to get married in Malta and plan to immigrate there from the UK.Does being married to a Maltese citizen allow me:To live indefinitely in Malta?To access health care or will I need ...
If your partner was Maltese and moved to the UK to exercise Free Movement and then became British then you can likely use a Surinder Singh right to move back as a family. This would require you to have been together in the UK before 2021. Read More
6 month rule on Brexit 10 years ID cards? by MaltaCommando
My father has a 10 year pos brexit ID card, and is stated that you can be up to 6 month away from Malta. The question is that, as usual, the devil is in the details.Does this mean that he can after 5 months, come for 1 week, and then spend 5 months ...
@volcane @volcane If you look at the Q&A that I mentioned above, it is described on page 4 and from Q2.5 . "The residence conditions under the Withdrawal Agreement mirror the conditions set out in theFree Movement Directive (Articles 6 and 7 of ... Read More

A few points.(1) If your father has lived lawfully in Malta for more than five years (including time spent when the UK followed EU law) and is protected by the Withdrawal Agreement, then he has acquired, by the automatic operation of the law the ... Read More

Hi there, My husband is a Maltese citizen and we're looking to move to Malta from the UK to live. Would I need to apply for a special residency of some sort and would I be able to work there? I have Googled about this but cannot find specific ...
As I pointed out in my earlier responses (also with a link to the Commission Q&A for Brits' post-Brexit rights), a TCN partner of an EU citizen who is exercising Freedom of Movement has residence rights under EU law also when that EU citizen ... Read More

You should also contact "Your Europe Direct" . I'm not sure if the link below will show but google for the name. It is essentially a free legal advice service offered by the EU on matters such as Freedom of Movement. Their lawyers ... Read More

Volcane - this isn't true. EU case law established that a migrant has a right to return with a TCN partner. Its termed the Surinder Singh route. I've seen it used by migrants in an number of EU countries. Indeed, it isn't too unusual to find ... Read More

If your husband has always been a Maltese citizen and moved to the UK when the UK was an EU member state then he will likely have activated his freedom of movement rights, meaning that he will receive extra residence rights related to accompanying ... Read More

UK Expat onward movement within the EU by F0xgl0ve
Just wonder what the situation is for UK expats and whether anyone has actually tested the regulations? A clause banning the onward movement of UK expats within the EU as part of the Brexit agreement was removed from the final agreement and the ...
An interesting question. I know of no Brits who have done this though, as you point out, they do have the option. From the bits and pieces I know about the scheme, there are drawbacks. For example, long term residence in one EU country is exchanged ... Read More

Everyone seems to be assuming (or maybe I missed some information) that neither you nor your husband hold an EU citizenship. Is this the case ? Many Brits have been able to obtain, eg, Irish citizenship. Read More
