WARNING: Maltese Landlords will try to rip you off, also in Gozo! by ewa22
Hi everybody, When I came to Malta I did not believe, when my new colleague told me that she does not like the greed in Maltese people and this is the main reason she does not have Maltese friends. I did not believe that it can be that bad since ...
I agree about greed in the Maltese people. I know you get that everywhere but it seems to be rife in this Country. That being said, I have lived here 10 years and perhaps I have just been lucky but, the three landlords I have had in that time have ... Read More

Driving back to UK with small dog by BeverleyB
Hi, We're having to drive back to the UK, with our small dog in February next year. Has anyone done this recently? I read that we still have to do the journey within 5 days of the dog having his tapeworm treatment. We were thinking this time ...
I'd be interested to hear whatever replies you get to this as I am also considering leaving Malta and taking my dogs via car rather than air (contrary to what SimCatAT just posted, the Eurostar website says that it's €17 for a dog on ... Read More

You sound like you’ve had some bad experiences. I’ve never been robbed (apart from an attempt by Melita - be very careful with them), always received my deposits back, have two Maltese bank accounts both secure. Not sure what the card ... Read More

As a renter, we used to pay a bit extra to the landlord every month to cover the utilities. Then when a bill would come in, they would show us and tell us what balance we had with them if we had over paid and that would go towards the next bill. ... Read More
How to save money in Malta by Priscilla
Hello everyone, Did you plan your budget before your move to Malta? If so, how did you go about it? How do you save money in your day to day life? Do you find there are any areas where you can't cut costs? Do you have any tips about saving ...
I couldn't disagree with you more!!! Rent is only expensive if you choose to rent in an expensive area. I've lived in Marsascala on my own in a two bedroomed flat with a private back yard and that was €280 per month. And the bus ... Read More
