Well, I wanted to get out of my home country desperately, so.. joke's on me. I wanted to move somewhere where they speak English. This is not really the case. I'm not a native speaker but the Maltese English still seems weird, especially ... Read More

Essentials to live in Malta by Christine

Hi, As an expat living in Malta, what would you advise the ones about to pack to bring along? What are the items you can easily find in Malta? On the other hand, what is less common or quite expensive? Share with us what you would recommend ...

Antonio

Antonio

From what I read also, if you ship a car over to Malta which hasn't been on your name for 2 years at least, you'll have pay to legalyze it over here. It can be quite expensive to have the Maltese number plates depending on the year of the ... Read More

How safe is Malta considering it's proximity to Libya/Tunisia etc by yoanka1980

I am considering moving to Malta with my husband and our 2 year old (currently living in Ireland). This might sound like a silly question, but I would just like to ask your opinion regarding Malta's safety in terms of terror threats, the ...

Antonio

I agree that Malta is indeed a very safe place to live and to raise kids, with a great climate, great views and so on...if it wasn't for the lack of common sense and manners from a lot of people, I would probably call it a paradise! Read More
