Loss Of The Right To Freedom Of Movement Or Exempt Person Status - Q & A Question No 31I am a Swedish citizen and I have been married to a citizen of Malta for six years. We have been residing in Malta for five years, during which our two children were born in Malta. We have recently separated and I have custody of my children. I have been in employment for the last two years. What is my immigration position in Malta following the recent amendments to the Immigration Act? Once you an your husband are no longer living together, you no longer enjoy freedom of movement and exempt person status in Malta. That is, in order to continue to reside in Malta you now require permission from the Principal Immigration Officer, Police General Headquarters, Floriana. Moreover, in order to work locally you require an employment licence in terms of the Immigration Act and you are, therefore, advised to contact the Department for Citizenship and Expatriate Affairs on this matter.
