Your company should contact ETC to find out if there is a problem with your work permit.

Start with reading the pinned post at the beginning of the forum, it may need a little updating now.

and as for getting an EU passport after 5 years that is very, very, unlikely, as the Maltese try not to let non EU citizens stay in the country that long as they may then be eligible to stay permanently!

i just called them and they said it will be renew on a yearly basis and that after 10 years but its a case to case basis.
but do u think with a salary of 1200 euros can we survive?

Depends on the size of the family whether that's enough money.

I think it would be a big struggle for 2 adults and a child at school to manage on €1200 a month even if that was after tax and social security payments.
I would think in or near Floriana you would need much of that for a decent rented home.

As for not renewing your work permit then I guess you would become illegal and could be made to leave the country.

New employer means getting a new work permit.
