Hello everyone !


My husband Ron and I are DETERMINED to move to Malta ASAP! We saw a show on Hulu called Mediterranean Life. Many destinations were covered but Malta captured our hearts. While I have lived as a tourist in several countries Malta spoke to our souls. We plan to visit for our honeymoon which we plan for New Year's Eve 2025.


My biggest concern is bringing my pets a dog and three cats, to Malta. If anyone has done this and can offer advice and/or resources to check out I would be so appreciative.


I look forward to meeting you virtually but I'm more excited to meet you in person!


Warm Ex-pat regards,

Bekki

Bringing pets here isn't super hard just expensive.


Much harder to get visas and all the legalities around.


You should also absolutely not for 1 minute believe some TV show about life here, you need to visit and spend time here not as a tourist.  Get a Airbnb for a month outside of the tourist hotspots (where you won't be living) and see how life actually is.
