This article is only relevant when the country in which the employee pays their social security contributions (home country/payroll country) is Malta.
Applying for A1 certificates in Malta is done via post to the Malta social security agency.
Processing times are usually around 1 day, though it may take longer depending on the case. The key challenge is that WorkFlex must attain several documents from the employer.
✅ What you need to do
1. Sign a Power of Attorney (POA) and an employer questionnaire
We will provide you with a POA template. Please sign it and return it to us.
We will also provide you with the employer questionnaire. Please fill it out, sign it, and return it to us.
⚠️ Key points to bear in mind
A POA is always required.
Additional information may be requested to complete the application form.
The employer receives the A1 certificate. Upon receipt, the certificate should be sent directly to the email [email protected]
Too early for a full assessment as WorkFlex hasn’t received many applications yet.
👉 Once these steps are complete, WorkFlex will handle the entire A1 application process on your behalf.
