Your chances are zero to declare bancruptcy in Malta ! And why should they be ? What do your financial problems in Romania have to do with Malta? If I'm broke I leave the country and start it off again ? Once, twice ...... Get your act ... Read More

Richard Weninger

You certainly will have a big fight trying to get hearing aid batteries paid for here in Malta. Generally speaking you are only entitled to the perks that locals receive too and there are not many in Malta. You asked the same questions several ... Read More

Richard Weninger

And I do not think that the car financing company is going to be too happy about you becoming resident in a foreign country and the car being plated with a Maltese number plate and handing over the necessary documents to register the car in ... Read More

Richard Weninger

Highly unlikely as most Gozitans looking for decent jobs leave Gozo as well ! Many even leave Malta altogether -))) Ask yourself why certain things are cheaper in 'isolated' villages in Malta let alone Gozo. As already said if you retire ... Read More

Generally speaking Malta is highly protective of it's jobs. The criteria for granting non-EU citizens a work permit are the same in Malta as in Italy. Your immigration status is unclear and it is questionable if you would be able to travel to ... Read More

How easy is it to get a teaching post in Malta. I am a fully qualified teacher of 20+ across the 5-13+ age range with a current DBS.

Depends ! To teach Maltese kids you need a Maltese Teachers Warrant and police conduct certificate. To teach EFL you need a yearly certificate. https://eflmalta.gov.mt/en/Pages/Requirements-for-an-EFL-Teaching-Permit.aspx Cheers Ricky Read More
