Role guides alongside the five named occupation-assessment options, the official Other option, and the separate non-exhaustive excluded-roles list.
Direct answer
Which roles need the Malta Skills Pass?
The Skills Pass is for third-country nationals coming to work in tourism and hospitality. The official process page lists five jobs you can choose: Luggage Porter, Receptionist, Bar Waiter, Commis Chef and Commis de Rang. It also has an “Other” option. Some roles are excluded, and that list is not complete. The guides below are our explanations, not official decisions about your job.
Not sure about your job? Contact Skills Pass support first. The process page has an “Other” option, but some roles are excluded.
Role guides grouped by this site
We grouped these guides ourselves. The official process page names five options and also has “Other”. If your job title does not match exactly, contact Skills Pass. Do not treat our grouping as an official instruction.
Other role guides — check the official guidance
These roles are not among the five named options. That does not mean they are excluded: the official process page has “Other” and tells you to contact support. The official FAQs give a separate excluded-roles list, and say it is not complete.
Common questions
Which roles are covered by the Malta Skills Pass?
The official tourism process page names five occupation options: Luggage Porter, Receptionist, Bar Waiter, Commis Chef and Commis de Rang. It also has an Other option, and tells you to contact support if your job is not listed. This is not a full list of who needs the Skills Pass. The official FAQs separately list some excluded roles, for example Cleaners & Kitchen Porters, and say that list is not complete. If your job title is unclear, ask Skills Pass. Do not rely on this guide's role pages alone.
What if my exact job title is not listed?
Choose the Other option and contact support, as the official process page says. Give Skills Pass your real job title and duties. Do not assume that a broad title such as chef or waiter matches a particular option.
Does this site register me or issue the Skills Pass?
No. This is an independent guide. It does not register candidates, issue certificates, collect documents or take payments. You register on the official Skills Pass portal. The official FAQ says ITS is the only issuer of Pre-Departure Course and Skills Pass certificates.
