Petycja skierowana do: Kamra tad-Deputati ta' Malta
I am a third-country national (TCN) living in Malta, where I've dedicated my skills and efforts to contribute positively to society. Despite this, I find myself quietly discriminated against due to recent changes in Maltese law concerning driving licenses for TCNs. This law clearly goes against the spirit of the European Union, which stands for equality and anti-discrimination, yet Malta openly implements a policy that discriminates against non-EU nationals.
Under the new legislation, TCNs are subjected to different requirements and restrictions for obtaining a driving license in Malta. This is not only unfair but also unjust, considering we TCNs contribute to Maltese society and pay taxes like any other resident. This law not only disregards our rights but also further marginalizes a group that already faces challenges due to their non-EU nationality.
The discrimination at play here is blatant. Malta should not be implementing policies that rely on discriminatory practices, especially when they contradict EU law. The European Union was created to foster unity, equality, and integration. Therefore, it's essential that all member states uphold these principles. To create a fair society, every person, regardless of their nationality, should have equal access to rights and opportunities.
This petition aims to reach a wider audience, gather public support, and address this issue at higher levels, including the EU Parliament and the European Court of Justice, as well as the United Nations' Discrimination Unit. By raising our voices collectively, we can push for the revocation of this discriminatory law and strive for a fair, equal, and integrative society within Malta and the EU.
Join me in urging the Maltese government to revoke this unjust law. Let us stand up for equality and the values that the European Union embodies. Please sign this petition to support ending discrimination against TCNs in Malta

I fully support this petition. Many third-country nationals have built their lives in Malta, contribute to the economy, pay taxes, and follow the law. Any rules that treat people differently solely because of their nationality should be carefully reviewed to ensure they are fair, proportionate, and consistent with the principles of equality. I urge the Maltese authorities to engage with those affected and work towards solutions that treat everyone with dignity and fairness.
I’m a cab driver and this is really stressing my work without any information how can they change license validity just like one year? Also there’s someone do driving violations they should cancel his license not to cut down license proper validation. Or else they should do press meet and announce that TCN can’t apply for Malteese license
This petition does not make sense and algoes against humanity rights. If a person has a driving license, they have earned it. It was not given for free. Why it has to be associated with their work permit? Also Many employers have TCNs employees who need license to carry out duties, what will they do? Instead of targeting TCNs who contribute in our country and are genuine it is better to target those who only cause problems. If there are too many cars and car accidents better to go through all those people who have gotten their licences ages ago rather than discriminating against those who underwent driving tests and strict tests to pass. Why is discriminating on something such basic and rightful for everyone to have? What difference it makes if you are EU, Maltese or TCN? One passed a test and obtained the licence, end of story. We need to be thankful to have TCNs to carry on jobs that most Maltese and EU citizens do not want to do. Apart from being discriminatory towards these people, you want to create chaos in the country by putting employers on their knees!

I am an IT professional who has lived, worked, and paid taxes in Malta for 10 years. My children were born here and are fully integrated into the Maltese schooling system. This law is completely disproportionate; a driving licence is a proof of technical skill, not an immigration permit. Tying our driving rights to a 1-year work permit treats innocent, long-term professionals like temporary workers and directly threatens our family stability due to routine administrative government delays.
