Car registration - time between arrival and getting residence by volcane

hello, First time posting on this forum, the archives have been invaluable so far in navigating the maze. I apologise for posting the ~1000th car import post here but I have a few questions I failed to find an answer for in the archives. I am ...

Tom

Hi. I kept the car here and paid the registration fee, looking at the resale value of the car here it was worth the money. Resale value meant the car is now worth enough to justify it. Also if you get tax exemption you ate not allowed to sell it or ... Read More

Hi everyone, Good to be here and also fined some relevant info about Malta which i am interested in, is great. I am a Nigerian living in Italy and have got no job here, despite having all the needed Italian documents, I am thinking about leaving ...

Tom

I think the advise being given to you here is sound. Honestly speaking you will struggle to find any kind of work here in Malta whether you have documents to legally enter or not. It may be tough in Italy but you will have more chance of getting ... Read More

Tom

As far as I'm aware you can still apply for exception if you have owned the car for more than 2 years, this I believe is still the case as I met someone who had also gone down the same route. I understand your situation and we all make our own ... Read More

I imported my car from the UK, granted it wasn't an expensive car. I got it shipped over by a Maltese company on a Transporter for €700 euros, paid the Registration fee of €800 euros, still far cheaper than buying the same car in ... Read More

Looking to move to Malta in Malta now. by Pollyanna##321

Hi I am trying to find some place to rent in buggiba, qwara, or st Paul's bay. Can anyone tell me what the average rental price is for a 1 or 2 bed place. Don't want to spend too much on a rental per month. Not looking for a palace, but ...

Tom

I agree, Malta is a cheaper option than most of Northern Europe even with its clear downsides. Food is very expensive but the savings made in other areas out weighs this by a long shot. Weather is a definite bonus, Just look out the window, Blue ... Read More

Hi, I was also wondering are all of the state schools Catholic? Can pupils opt out from RE? Coming from Ireland where there are 0 non-denominational schools so the kids would be used to schools with 'Catholic Ethos' but they don't have ...

Tom

We were given the option with my 8 and 5 year old in a state school to either do religion or ethics. Although we are not a religious family my kids decided they wanted to take religion. They are very religion driven in state schools so it seems but ... Read More
