As of 1. August 2010 Legal Notice 370/2010 will apply to new applications for long-term residency of Third-Country Nationals.
This means that in the last 12 months immediatly prior to the application the applicant has to attend a course organized by the public employment service ( ETC?) or any other competent authority of at least !!!! 100 hours having as its subject the social,economic,cultural and democratic history and environment of Malta.
a) You have to provide evidence certifying satisfactory (?) attention and an examination pass mark of at least 75 %
b)Plus a pass mark of at least 75 % in the Malta Qualifications Framework Level 2 in either Maltese or English.
c) Have paid all course and examination fees.
I wonder if my English is good enough to pass ? The required level equates to a Secondary Education Level in English.
Anybody with further information please pass on the information.
