Tips and Advice for moving to Malta

Post new topic

Xiocanthl

Hi Everyone,

I am new to the forum and currently in the processing of relocating to Malta

I have two Job Offers at present but currently run my own business in the UK, so have a few options

One of the job offers is in San Gwann I was looking for recommendations on which areas to live in within about 30 minutes .

Any other general advice on tips ahead of the move would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Most places will be within 30 mins of San Gwann, though it depends how you are travelling and time of day. ;-)

San Gwann itself, Naxxar, St Julians, Pembroke, Sliema (lot of traffic to get out in the mornings!) , Swieqi, Ghargur, Madliena, Iklin, Birkirkara ..... just a few

Its good to come over a few weeks before and secure accommodation, though you can also get a hotel or short let and find something when you arrive.

Its pretty easy to move here, you can do most paperwork on arrival and most info you need is easily available online on assorted official websites.

Shout if you need anything specific
