Hi There,
I have a question which someone might be able to answer. My Mum and step dad would like to live in Malta and would have 4 property's which they would be renting out in the UK for income. In the family group there will be the Nan's pension also of 800 so in total 2600 to live off. Would the son being 32 and the daughter 24 be able to live with them and live off the money as dependants?

Thanks

I knew a guy who did that, but got into trouble when a couple of his properties were left empty for several months.

If you are talking about four people living off £2600 per month then I would say no.
Each of the people would have to have either reciprocal healthcare, be employed or have private healthcare plus prove they have enough money to keep themselves to obtain the EID for residency.

Thanks for both of your replies. Would it be possible to go there and work ? The son is self employed in England as a Computer Technician and the daughter is working in a care home and is qualified. What is the work like in Malta and the wages compared to the UK ?

As a EU citizen you can work in Malta, you will need to register with ETC.

Wages are generally lower than the UK but check out the ETC website to get a better idea.
