New ID Card for a Brit by iamharibo
Hi, I'm super behind on all this new id card rubbish. I understand we can now get the form online, have the documents signed by a police officer and send them by post, is that correct? I have the form I need, now I'm just wondering what documents ...
I still can't find the list of documents... I'm clearly being idiotic :( Read More

Poshest Restaurant in Gozo
Hi, Can anyone recommend me the poshest and most expensive restaurants in Gozo please? I'm talking serious luxury. The top rated one on Trip Advisor looks very nice (Patricks) but I want somewhere more expensive and... well, ostentatious really. ... Read More
Getting a VAT Number?
Hi all, I refer people to an estate agent that I use and have always loved and if my referral signs through them I get a small fee in return. We're not talking big money here but they're asking that I be able to provide VAT receipts for their ... Read More
Bird Watching by iamharibo
Hey, Are there any areas of Malta that are known to be good for bird watching? Or even areas with those little huts you sit in especially for watching birds? Can you tell I know nothing about this subject? I used to be super into birds as a kid ...

Shipping your shopping by brayster99
I believe that kind soul here posted the details of a part EU funded site that had 4 european hubs for the purpose of shipping goods that had been bought on-line for forwarding to Malta. I cant find the link anymore and I think I am wearing out ...
Do you mean just online shopping as opposed to removals? There is forward2me and I think Malta Post also run something similar. I got a few quotes and in my experience the fee they charge is extortionate and most places do deliver here Read More

what is the standard tipping percentage in Malta by jmuthe
I was wondering if someone could explain the restaurant tipping etiquette in Malta. Actually, to be honest, IÂ’m not sure I completely understand it in America as well. In America, I believe that the standard amount that you should leave is twice ...
I also hear that when you go out to a restaurant, you donÂ’t have to worry about tipping the waiters or waitresses. Whaaaat? Thats just common decency. Tip if you liked the meal/service, don't if you didn't. Read More
How does Malta see foreigners? by expatmalta12
How do you feel as an expat living in Malta?
the only time I've not felt overly welcome was at a blogger meet up where everyone only spoke Maltese. In general day to day life I always feel very welcome, not like there is any bad feeling or divide between Maltese and expats :) Read More
Salons with Sunbeds Sliema/Gzira by iamharibo
Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any salons in the Sliema/Gzira area that have tanning beds? We usually go to the salon in the Portomaso shopping complex but since moving its a bit far. We're not after spray tan or fake tan application but ...
I am aware of the dangers and if it were purely for colour I'd definitely try a spray tan, however I have quite severe psoriasis and my boyfriend has severe eczema. We can receive light treatment however we couldn't start it until October so I was ... Read More

I went to the Department of Social Security in Msida. Here is a list of the addresses around the island. Just pop along with passport and ID card, takes about 5 minutes. Hope this ... Read More

Cheap Garden Furniture
Hi everyone, I want some cheap furniture- a table and 2/3 chairs- to go on my balcony but I'm not sure where best to look. Most places around me (Sliema) only seem to sell big expensive sets. Just something plastic would do, or a cheap wooden set ... Read More
