Unemployment benefit query?
Not that I or my partner ever intend to claim, but as we are considering coming back to Malta I wondered if this would be an option if we had to? We are both hoping to find work quite quickly and we intend to come over with some savings but by the ... Read More
Thinking of coming back to Malta by SummerRaine
Some of you may remember me, I came to live in Malta with my husband, 1 year old son and mother 2 years ago. We stayed for 6 months and then left Malta within a week of our decision to return to the UK. My mother wanted to return desperately to ...
Thanks very much for the replies. So I take it that salary is quite good in Malta, i.e not minimum wage? I realise I wouldn't get paid for preparation and that is fine. I was hoping I could maybe do contract work and also maybe private tuition if I ... Read More

Thank you for your replies and mantonas for your perspective. I have contacted some language schools today in Valetta and Sliema querying whether my CELTA qualification would stand me in good stead for a job and what sort of salary I could expect. ... Read More

Thanks for the replies. To be honest a lot of our visit was tarred by my mother coming with us. Not to sound harsh as I love her dearly but she was such a worry and became so dependent on me it was like having another child to look after. She became ... Read More

Shipping stuff back to the UK
Does anyone have any recommendations of companies my mother can use to ship stuff back to the UK. She has decided to go back within the next few months and would like to ship stuff back. She has quite a lot around 20-30 boxes. We used a company ... Read More
How reliable are the buses in Malta. by jmuthe
I was wondering how efficient are the buses in Malta. Do they usually arrive on time? Are they all over the country or are there areas where you won't find them? Is there a long wait time for them or do they show up frequently. How much do they cost ...
I agree that they are certainly more comfortable than the old Maltese buses, but I don't find them very reliable. I do not have a car so use them quite often and I have, at times, been over an hour late for my course, or about 45 minutes early!! ... Read More
REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE / ID CARD by vickilou
Hi, My new employer wants me to get an ID card (should have got one a while back actually anyway) - I explained re them being phased out and asked for a job confirmation letter as i'm off to apply for the residency cert tomorrow (3 months is up). ...
I still haven't managed to go and get my residency certificate/card. My husband has been struck down with some bout of stomach illness so was told to stay out of the sun and has done for the last two weeks or so. He is feeling much better now so we ... Read More

Another person from Aberdeen? Me too, Malta is filling up with them it seems! Sounds like a right faff! I had an ID card in 1996, long gone now, I wonder if I can just get a replacement? Don't suppose it matters as hubby still needs to get one. Not ... Read More

Sounds fine, although I do not have a bank account yet here in Malta, all my money is still in the UK due to the absolute ridiculous procedures at BOV. I am now looking to open one at HSBC but I will have to start the whole process again so it will ... Read More

I am a bit confused here. I didn't get the chance to get to the ID card office on Friday *hangs head in shame* however I intend to go this week to get both ID card and residency certificate. However I am not employed as I am a student and my husband ... Read More

Hurt? You mean you're not up for waxing? Maybe a little guyliner then? It would bring out the colour in your eyes I'm sure! Read More
