In this comprehensive guide, you will discover how much to invest, real living costs, professional possibilities, and how to financially plan your Maltese journey to maximize every euro invested.
Why choose Malta for exchange in 2025
Malta is a true hidden treasure in the heart of the Mediterranean and has established itself as one of the most sought after destinations for Brazilians who want an affordable international experience in Europe. The small archipelago offers a perfect combination that few places can provide.
Among the main benefits that justify investing in an exchange in Malta are:
- English as an official language: One of the few European countries where English is an official language, guaranteeing complete linguistic immersion
- Strategic location: Located in the center of the Mediterranean, with easy access to Italy, Greece and North Africa
- Exceptional climate: Over 300 days of sunshine a year and mild winters, allowing you to enjoy beaches and outdoor activities
- Affordable cost of living: One of the most affordable European destinations, with prices significantly lower than London or Dublin
- Rich historical heritage: Thousands of years of history concentrated in a small territory, with Phoenician, Roman, Arab and British influences
In addition, the program Study and Work in Malta allows you to combine learning English with professional experience, creating a competitive differential in your curriculum while enjoying the incredible Mediterranean quality of life.
English courses with work permit
Malta, as an officially bilingual country (Maltese and English), offers an ideal environment for learning or improving English. Local schools, such as English Path, offer programs for all levels - from basic to advanced - including preparation for international certifications such as IELTS and TOEFL.
The great difference of studying English in Malta is the legal structure that allows international students work during their exchange. The model works as follows:
- First three months: Exclusive dedication to studies and cultural adaptation (legal requirement of the Maltese authorities)
- Starting in the fourth month: Permission to work up to 20 hours a week, potentially generating approximately €560 monthly
This combination of Study and work, offered by the program Learning a language abroad, allows you not only to develop your language skills, but also to acquire international professional experience and recover part of the investment made in the exchange.
