Flying to Malta with dog on Air Malta by svale
I've had my maisonettes in St Paul's since 1972 so everything is sorted as far as housing is concerned. Anyway, we put off selling up in the UK completely as my husband needed an op and loves his garden. Until recently, we've really ...

Enjoy, but keep your eyes open, and don't trust others on road, they never stick to rules. I've had a few idiots cut in front or across me when on my bike. But still the best way to beat the traffic jams. Read More

Hi, do maltese employers require a criminal conviction history from job applicants? Me and my wife are coming to Malta and we will be looking for work so we want to know if criminal checks from countries of our origin will be needed thanks a lot
Think it depends on type of job you're planning on looking for. I needed a Maltese criminal check certificate for my job here, but because I had only been in Malta for less than a year I had to get a UK one too, Maltese one is no problem, 30mins ... Read More
