HSBC Bank Transfer by dom106
Hey Guys, I hold a Australian Passport, soon to be a dual national of Malta. I've heard that the Maltese banks are a bit hit and miss, Wondering since I have HSBC here in Australia, do you reckon that it would be more streamlined to open a ...
I can confirm it doesn't help at all. You would still also be waiting a few months to get an appointment for HSBC to open a normal account. That being said, once HSBC is setup, they are pretty decent in terms of service from my experience. Read More

I'm telling you as a non-eu person myself, she will need that ID card to re-enter the country. Identity Malta will inform you that the blue piece of paper is insufficient and clearly (at least used to) on it that "THIS IS NOT A TRAVEL ... Read More
Dentists? by Burke92
How is the dentists in Malta, is they any in Sliema.. Could an Expat be able to visit and get appointments? and what is the cost roughly?
I personally go to St James in Sliema and have found them good. Price seems reasonable to me although I have nothing to compare that to and my insurance covers it. Read More
ID CARD by LOVENA83
Hi as a family we all applied as non eu residence card in May 30 2018, i got mine in 5 days and my husband and son have not received theirs we are non eu. Is it normal?
If you are non-eu, is it safe to assume you are here on a single work permit? If so, it's WAY too long and you need to follow up. Read More

I personally use Melita and would give them an A+. Modem they provided died and they replaced it within 48 hours. Getting it initially setup took 24 hours. Read More
Collection of Residence ID Card by BlueOctupus
Hi, A few weeks ago now I received a letter stating that I should collect my ID card from the E-ID cards office in Victoria, Gozo. The other day I had a clear up in my house, but I think I've accidentally thrown my letter in the ...
I'm so confused. Maybe things work differently in Gozo, but in Valetta collecting the document that is already ready only takes about 5-10 minutes. You can pretty much go at any time. Even in the section for applying for ID for EU citizens is ... Read More

Depends on the person behind the counter. I tried to collect without the letter in Valetta as I simply forgot it at home that day and got denied as they use the letter to confirm mailing address. I believe in your situation, if they insist on ... Read More

Hi guys! I am new to the forum and also never been in Malta before. I got a good employment offer in Pieta but thinking to live in Sliema. I am used to the busy city life and quite enjoying cafes, restaurants and having long walks through the ...
As someone that does the Sliema to Pieta walk a few times a week as a form of excercise, you are looking at approximately, 4ish KMs walk each way, so about 45 mins at a reasonable pace. In the summer, it can be quite brutal to do the walk, ... Read More

I’ve never tested it myself as I originally came on a work permit which was a little different to begin with, but I believe you can work with the paper one issued however you can’t travel on it, but take that advice with a grain of salt. Read More
