Starting in Malta and Moving to Another EU Country as non-EU



Hello everyone,
I am from a non-EU country and I work in IT and have been trying to find work in Germany or the Netherlands, but unfortunately, I haven't had any success yet.

Recently, I received a job offer from Malta. Although the offer isn't very attractive—it might even be more beneficial economically to stay in my home country—I'm considering whether this opportunity could help me secure employment in other EU countries later on.

I came across some information on the EU immigration portal regarding the EU Blue Card, which states: "After 18 months, you may move to another EU country to work in a highly-skilled job. You will need to apply for a new EU Blue Card in the country you wish to move to. It's important to note that the rules vary by country, so you should check the specific requirements for your intended destination on the EU map provided."

In this context, would accepting the offer and relocating to Malta offer any advantages? Specifically, would my chances of finding a job in Germany or the Netherlands improve if I were based in Malta and worked there for about 12 to 18 months?

Alternatively, should I consider other options such as pursuing a Master's degree in Germany or the Netherlands to enhance my job prospects?

Does anyone have knowledge about this process?

Regards,
