Where an employee is resident in and pays Social Security in Malta, the employee will be entitled to a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). If an employee resides in an EU Member State other than Malta, the employee may benefit in the same way via the issuance of an S1 form in their EU country of residence (upon presentation of the salary slips showing the contributions made). Those insured in Malta may also claim unemployment benefits in their country of residence, by making an online request.
