Freedom of movement for UK National

When you visit ID Malta they will advise you that you need proof of Residency for minimum 3 months and proof of self sufficiency by showing 3 months Bank statements. Take your Passport with you.
Afterwards you may go through the issues of car registration etc.
It is better that you prepare the paperwork before your visit as you may sit there for 4 hours as I indeed did. I have been here 30+ years but was still required to provide the paperwork which they only told me at the interview.
You have until June 2021 to satisfy the paperwork requirements and Register.
Call me on *** if you require further assistance.

Just reclaim your Maltese nationality and retire in Gozo. Transport Malta will be very happy to register your car over here because the annual license fee in Malta is twice as high as the tax in the UK. I almost forget to mention the tax you have to pay when you bring your car from the UK to Malta. This will be a real delight. I was so disappointed when I took my car from Malta to Germany and these people over there told me no tax for importing a car. However, Malta is different. Enjoy the difference.

British. Expat in Malta. Been here since 1989.

Opening a bank account in Malta is very tricky. And due to Brexit, some UK banks will close accounts for expats.
