The catch could be in the scope of cover i.e what is and isn't covered and/or in the limits. Compare the scheme you're considering with the next one up and see what the differences are. Also, keep in mind that certain types of procedures can only be ... Read More

Renting apartment in Malta by Felicia Hallgren

Hey! So I have the chance to move down to Malta for work, but I don’t know anything about the process of renting an apartment. So what I was wondering is I read on a website that you pay a deposit before moving in, and then pay the rent the ...

Mark

Facebook marketplace and groups are best for finding apartments. Can also try the websites of the agencies themselves. However, be aware that you will come across many advertised properties that are actually no longer available so it can be a bit ... Read More

Qualified Secondary Teacher from UK looking to work in Malta by GuestPoster6121

Hello,I am hoping to relocate to Malta. I am currently Head of Drama and Performing Arts in a London school and looking at schools in Malta to teach. I can also teach English Language and Literature. I have been a qualified teacher for ...

@hanselmar5 Actually the average salary in Malta is around 19k so teachers have an above average salary. Yet, one surely can't live comfortably on a teacher's salary which is a shame. Same goes for nurses and other healthcare workers who do ... Read More

There aren't many jobs that pay a good enough salary which allows the jobholder to live decently without sharing expenses. A warrant is a kind of permit that one needs to teach in compulsory education institutions. You can find more details ... Read More

Teachers are severely underpaid and under appreciated here. Keep in mind that you would also need a warrant to practise as a teacher here. Not sure what that would entail. Hours are the same as UK as far as I know although you do get more holidays. ... Read More

You can expect a max gross salary of around 30k as a full time teacher. Not great but you can always supplement it with part time work. Read More

Yes, having air-conditioned accommodation would go a long way toward making you feel comfortable. Work shouldn't be a problem because your office will certainly be air-conditioned. Walking to work would be uncomfortable in summer but buses and ... Read More

You will live comfortably as a single person even if your employer doesn't subsidise your accommodation. Making friends shouldn't be too hard especially if you live in the St Julians area. You'll find plenty of fellow countrymen to ... Read More

Japanese Import by Pier89

Hi all, I will soon be in Malta and planning to buy a used car when I am there. While browsing the internet I noticed there are quite a lot of dealers selling Japanese imports, with prices that are affordable. What are the pros and cons of buying ...

Mark

Japanese imports tend to be in very good condition and come well equipped with extras. Spare parts are generally easy to get hold of too especially if you go for a model which is also made for the European market. I would go for something up to 4 ... Read More

Whoever owns the airspace above your penthouse has the right to build as many additional floors as permissible by law. If you are not the owner of the airspace, probably (and hopefully) your purchase contract contains a clause stating that you are ... Read More
