Moving to Malta for summer season May-October 2013

Hi jmr,

welcome to the forum.

Are you considering working in Malta during the summer or winter season? That will make a big difference.

Bingo and gambling are very popular in Malta but,as most things, highly regulated and the Maltese will care. Especially those already operating legally.

From your profile you are British so you would have no problem working in Malta and becoming a resident after 3 months.

The most popular resort with the British is the Bugibba area but Sliema/St.Julians is also very attractive.

Can't say much about the golf course except that the only player I know travels a lot to play on courses in Sicilly and elsewhere.

Cheers
Ricky

You cannot work unless you are a resident, but the process is simple, as long as you are an EU citizen

Thanks for the replies. Yes I am English, but the 2 replies above seem to contradict each other slightly.
I will be over for the Summer season.

Hi jmr,

no contradiction !

To work in Malta you will have to be a resident ( apply for ID card and/or residency depending on the rules next year). I was just assuming that you will not find work in Malta that fast and that you will have to apply for residency on the basis of your financial power within the 3 months given as a tourist.

If things are bad in the entertainment in Spain don't expect it to be better in Malta , especially for foreigners.

I personally tend to be quite realistic about work opportunities in Malta. I've seen too many Expats fail. It is always difficult unless you are a specialist in IT,finance or international business.

Cheers
Ricky
