Hi Ya'll,

Just a quick query from anyone who is in the know...

As it seems to be taken a while for the official bods to respond with an appointment date and said date being months away. Would it be plausible to fire off an email now from my home in the UK so by the time I get to Malta and settle down the wait should not be as long or do you need a Maltese address first.

Also thought of another one for 'joint' residency.. as it's me and my wife relocating do we have to send separate emails or could it be one email with both names on it?

Thanks :cool:

Hi

Ken,

I think you're a little too late. Not that it matters -because the chances/odds of you getting a reply are about 1/500. However like you, I am still in the UK and at the moment I have sent them about 6 emails.

There's a post on this see - eResidence Trick posted by me.

Nonetheless the best advice is to email them ASAP and you might get a reply against all odds. You don't need an address. Just email asking for a date, including your name and your family members. Passport number and date of birth. Ps - Don't forget get to tell them that you're an EU citizen ...yada yada yada.

Hope that helps.

I did mine last week from the UK for July.
As it is by e-mail they don't need an address. They don't ask for one in the guidance though I did supply them but do include passport numbers , names and dates of birth.
Well, that's what I did anyways.

They will NOT send receipt acknowledgements, that is written in the guidance but I set a received receipt and read receipt request as actions. They will inform you when an appointment is offered.

Remember, they are inundated with work. be patient and remember, this is Malta :)

That trick of yours is IMO a waste of time and unnecessary.

also remember that appointemnts have to be in person and you cannot do it for someone who isnt there in the DCEA offices, and that includes children too.

Hi

redmik

You're incredibly right, but there's more than one way to skin a cat hence the trick - It's not textbook guideline but it's what I did and shared on the forum.

However your approach is also recommendable and I wouldn't call it unnecessary, remember different strokes for different people.   

Thanks

your technique, if followed by many, risks jamming up an already overloaded system. One of the reasons for the delays is that people have been sending multiple emails

Hi All,

As usual your responses are much appreciated but must confess did not expect that many replies.

I'll fire off an email today and set a delivery and read receipts respectfully.

Regards

Ken

Look, there is No Way you are going to beat the system, especially if you have no experience of the Maltese way of doing things. Get out of your London way of doing things, It's different here.

Just to clarify, is this the correct email to apply for an appointment: eresidence.mfa@gov.mt

Thanks!
