Importing a Vehicle by chrisc58

Hi, I am thinking of importing a vehicle from the UK. The reason for this is due to personal reasons and that it seems to be cheaper to do so despite the mileage and fuel costs. How would you find out how much it would cost to import a vehicle to ...

Living in Mellieha with children. by JennyPenny

Hello! We are family from Finland and just moved to Malta/Mellieha. We like it in here, but haven't desided our permanent address yet. We are thinking abaut settling down to Mellieha, or maybe Swieqi-area. How is life in Mellieha at winter? Is ...

Joe Bray

I'd say that Mellieha is probably a little too far north as most kids (after school) activities are in the central metropolis.. however, this only means a few more mins in the car.. Read More

Transfer of residency exemption by Tinna9

Joe Bray

again out of curiosity, what makes you believe residency is an act of volition. If within the EU residency application and documentation is immediate and coupled, one could equally assume its the later that concretes residency. It would also be an ... Read More

The italian consulate also told my wife that they were unable to transfer her residency until she had formal documentation (id card) from the Maltese. Which seems a fair position. What gives? do we actually live in the EU? Read More

so you become resident as soon as you settle (another ill-defined term), apply for residency (because you shouldn't unless you consider yourself resident (more wooliness) or expiring your legal obligation to do so or which ever is the soonest. You ... Read More

the act of applying makes you resident? bonkers! and if you were refused? At the time we applied for residency we did so because it was a 8 month wait just to get an interview, to make an application. so for clarity; is it the initial enquiry that ... Read More

Hi Guys, We were just refused based on the dates, as we applied the day after we got our residency cards, rather than 30 days after becoming resident ( the actual legal definition of which eludes me). In our case we were holidaying in Malta with ... Read More
