I wonder if you anyone can advise me on the difficulty in proving your address as a tenant in Malta? my husband is in the position of needing to prove his address in Malta in connection with a house purchase in the UK (due to a cash purchase i.e. money laundering process) and as everything is in his landlord's name he has nothing at all, as is common knowledge he can't even open a bank account for this reason. I am desperate, does anyone have any advice. His payslip doesn't have his address on it either.

@GozoMo he doesn't have it yet, probably a couple more weeks. He managed to find an internet bill so we are hoping that will suffice. So stressful.

Besides the residence card your address is shown on bills.

Electricity and water company
Telephone bill
Bank statements
Post office registration
If you have none of them you better wait for your residence card which takes 4 weeks after application

Most people who rent do not have electricity/water bills in their name.
