No, Prior to may 2004, Foreigners seeking to live and work in Malta needed to obtain a Temporary Residence and Employment Permit. A work permit was only given on a temporary basis (and it needed to be renewed every 1-3 years). These permits were only dished out for a specified position provided that no suitable qualified Maltese candidates were available. The applicant usally had to possess a professional qualification or a high degree of skill or experience.
When Malta became a member of the EU (May 2004), any EU National instantly was free to live and work in Malta under European Union treaty law.
We have an advantage, in that Malta choose, during its independance to teach its children English first, and at age 12 they learn Maltese, thus they are bi-lingual. The 150 years of British rule, up to the 1964, has left a lasting effect on the country and its language. English is an official language, people drive on the left and major daily newspapers are in English.
