Malta's economy by GuestPoster566

Well, that's all right then. So glad the French are happy!! :rolleyes: Mr Hollande was very categorical that Malta is a haven but a cultural, touristic and economic haven, not a tax haven. He was satisfied Malta has a strong banking ...

john2011

Hollande's opinion is not worth a dog's yawn. How is the banking system in general, not safe anywhere. Read More

Huge problem with removal asking for more money than agreed by MaltaCommando

Hi, I have a big problem with the removals. I agreed to pay 3300 €, half in cash in the loading and other half in the unloading. At the start everything was fine. They came for the things fast. Then, I had to wait from the 18 of March till the ...

If you knew all what I experience now with companies in Malta, I could write a book. Sometimes, you are in a strong position, sometimes no. In your case, you are not in a strong position. Try to negotiate. I would avoid another company since they ... Read More

Maltese roads = barmil ta 'harra by markusday

On the way home last night, I entered a pothole the size of my whole wheel on one of the main roads to Birkirkara. The impact cause such a shock to the car that the air-con starts vibrating now when I switch it on (association = Hell; just one euro ...

john2011

markusday, the roads in Malta are very bad. I'm afraid, they don't care what the people think about their roads. The government is corrupted, things are difficult to change. Sometimes, I think also the same as you have in your mind. Read More

Unwritten Rules of the Road by Auspom

I've been living in Malta for seven months now, and I find that the reputation of drivers in Malta is well-deserved. It's pretty close to anarchy on the roads. Several acquaintances have made the decision to forego driving and stick to public ...

john2011

at the beginning, it was tricky and confused. Now, I anticipate the non sense Maltese driving on the roads. Read More

Ministry defends bus fares structure after EU complaint And again the discussion is not focusing the main problem: I would even pay 3,- or more for a day ticket if the bus service would be reliable, convenient and unfrustrating ... and if they ...

One comment. The problem with banks here, they think that all the banks in the world speak english and they're going to provide you with a reference letter. If I imagine going to my bank in France, asking them a reference letter in English, first a ... Read More

Hi Monica, I can't reply to you. To immigrate in a new country, you need to know why this country, why to leave, what to do there, do I have chances to succeed. With a car, Malta is like a big city, you can go everywhere quickly. From what you're ... Read More

The class action Re; Energy & Water by GuestPoster566

A group of EU citizens residing in Malta filed a judicial protest against ARMS Ltd and the Malta Resources Authority on Friday over discriminatory red tape that sees them paying some 30 per cent higher utilities rates than their Maltese ...

john2011

I agree with this class action. Tariffs based on residency might be acceptable if they ask the Maltese the same documents to prove where they reside. When you know that 5000 foreigners live in Malta and that more maltese live outside Malta than ... Read More
