Thanks guys, You are helpful as always. I do have an e-ID, but do they do direct deposit in Malta bank account in case of refund? Because the check sent to my old address will do me no good :) Read More

Hello, I am an American with Maltese duel citizenship, who is thinking of moving to Malta next summer and then find a job in my field of electronics. I have some money saved and a temporary place to stay. Once I find a job, I plan to use my saved ...

Salaries in Malta by shadi1984
Hi All, I'm moving to Malta next month and i'm afraid a bit from the salary problems. is it a good salary 20.000 EU before tax to live in Malta? And anyone know how much i will pay tax? thanks
Your monthly salary after tax will be about Eur 1,250 - 1,350 monthly, sometimes they add some government bonuses. It's high for Malta but everything is quite expensive here. Not much room for savings, but all depends on your living arrangements: ... Read More

Any photographers and/or skywatchers on here? by GuestPoster566
One thing I am looking forward to are clear nights on Gozo for skywatching and photography. Does anyone share my interests? I would be interested to know as I would like to learn more and to improve.
Hi, I'm far from professional but love photography and I can tell you the sky here is beautiful most of the times. The clouds sit unusually low and take all kinds of different shapes and colors. Sunsets are magical. The views at Ghajn Tuffieha bay ... Read More

Hi Elinabio, Just to mention, as a factor in your decision making, here in Malta its a common practice to introduce up to 6 months probation period, where employers can assess you and you can assess the company. Within this period, the job is not ... Read More
Winter in Malta by JoeToronto
Hello Everyone, I have read several forums where people have stated that winter in Malta is harsh, particularly inside the house. Furthermore, I have read that many have to wear gloves, hats, and winter coats inside the house just to maintain body ...
"Do people spend more for heating their homes in Malta than in much colder countries?" You can't say yes or no to that, because it depends on many factors: what do you consider a normal temperature inside the house (for me it's above 24 C, some ... Read More

Just to compare, when my sister came here to visit this summer (she lives in Spain), she noticed that even though the temperatures were the same at the time, it was a lot harder to tolerate the heat here, because of humidity. Read More

Winter in Malta, my favorite subject... it's my second one to enjoy. Just got an electric bill for all the aircon that I used in summer and it made me sick. Still not going to sacrifice on heat, but feel like I can never get comfortable enough ... Read More
