Removing water tank entirely by Julia123
Hello, I have a question to people who have experience connecting their water supply to the mains and bypassing water tank entirely. I have a house with water tank on the roof and a water pump - the usual setup. However, it's a house and water ...

Ha-ha! The buried bodies - that's a good one! Read More

Yes, true about the pipes - they are connecting bathroom to the water tank. They are shabbily done and not accessible. I don't know if I can rerun them, have to ask the plumber. My concern is once water pump is replaced, the pipes will go off ... Read More

Hello, does anyone have information on the processing times/schedule for the integration course required the long-term residence? I registered for the course in July last year, completed interview and forms and was told to wait. Since nothing ...

Well, I sent another follow-up and again received a generic reply that there is no start date for the course at the moment and they will keep me updated, nothing specific. I already heard about Covid slowing things down (from many places, not just ... Read More

Convincing neighbours to clean by Julia123

I own the place. I pay maintenance fees but administrator is refusing to provide receipts. She actually gets really mad when someone is asking for receipts, which I don't get also, since all her spending is apparently legitimate, she is not ... Read More

Residence permit for Canadian - need advice by Julia123
Hello, I am Canadian (i.e. Third Country national) and I tried to apply for residence permit today under self-sufficient class for non-EU residents. I meet all the requirements just fine but my application was turned down under pretext that I can ...

Ricky, I probably did not express myself accurately - no, I didn't tell the department that I work in Malta. Strictly speaking, my working at various locations outside Canada creates "representing interests" of Canadian company abroad, at best. I ... Read More

Ricky, thank you for the reply. I didn't realize that self-sufficiency would create so many problems. It's a bit tricky to say I am "working" in Malta. Because technically the employer is Canadian and all the payments, taxes, etc. are made in ... Read More

You do not say what your work is. If you work via internet from Malta then perhaps to them you are (obviously) employed?redmik, I am working for a Canadian company but I have working arrangements that I can basically "work from home". My employer ... Read More
