How do I find a Malta recruitment agency?

Use only government-registered agencies in your country (MEA/ROC in India, BMET/BAIRA in Bangladesh, OEC in Pakistan, DOFE in Nepal). Cross-check the Maltese employer on Identità's licensed-employer list.

How do I avoid Malta job scams?

Never pay large upfront cash fees. Always insist on a signed offer letter on the employer's letterhead. Verify the employer with Identità. Single-permit fees are paid by the employer, not by you.

Are there real Malta jobs for South Asians?

Yes - Maltese hospitality, care and construction employers actively recruit from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nepal. But always through legitimate channels.
