S.L. 217.6 Art. 25Submission of application.

An application for entry and residence for family members of a refugee whose family relationship pre-dated their entry into

Malta, or where such application was submitted at any date following the granting of his refugee status, or whose family relationship was established subsequent to his entry into Malta shall be submitted in accordance with Part IV of these regulations:

Provided that the requirement of documentation regarding his prospects of permanent residence shall not apply in his case:

Provided further that where a refugee cannot provide official documentary evidence of the family relationship, the Director shall take into account other evidence and during the examination of the application, the Director shall consult with the Chief Executive Office of the International Protection Agency. A decision rejecting an application may not be based solely on the fact that documentary evidence is lacking.
