EU nationals residing in Gozo, will from Monday morning be able to leave their application for the e-Residence document at the ID office in St Francis Square Gozo.
Dr Mariella Grech, Director of the Department for Citizenship and Expatriate Affairs, confimed that the Department will have a prescence there as as from Monday morning. “Persons can leave their completed applications (including a photo) with our officer at the ID office in Gozo.”
Dr Grech said that later they also hope to have a collection service from Gozo as well.
This news will be a welcome relief for those persons who have not yet submitted their application and will no longer have to face the initial journey to Malta.
