What are the positives to living in Malta? by Wanderlust1
Guys I've heard so much negative stuff about living in Malta, but what are the positives? As I've mentioned before on other posts my circumstances are this... The UK based company that I already work for have offered me a promotion if ...
Plocke - thanks for your reply. It must be said that living in Malta (as an ex pat, not holidaymaker) sounds like hell to me! Yes the place looks beautiful with plenty of sunshine & the majority of people speak English but... I'm not sure ... Read More

I'm so grateful for all the replies to my original post. I think I'll send my wife over to Malta to see what she thinks. I've been a couple of times to our Malta office in Sliema to work for a couple of weeks at a time in the last couple ... Read More

Like I say my wife won't have to work. I'm surprised that it's not cheaper to travel to European countries from Malta as you're obviously a lot closer in distance than me here in the UK. I've got a couple of months to decide as ... Read More

Hi Lambada, my wife wouldn't need to work (but she might like to) as my salary would be well above the average Malta salary. It will be benchmarked against UK salary scale not Maltese. If I took the job then the commitment is long term ie ... Read More

Thanks Lambada. My biggest fear is that if I take the job (I know I'm going to like the job) & move to Malta but my wife or I hate it there then I can't just say to my current employers "whoops sorry I made a mistake, can I come ... Read More

But I'm not fed up living in the UK! My wife & I are very blessed to live a privileged lifestyle in the UK. Read More

Rob, thanks for being so truthful/ honest about your reasons. If I was fed up like you were then of course I'd probably want to jump ship as well but... I already have good health/wealth & happiness by living in my home country. I also live ... Read More

Hi Rob, thanks for the reply. I'm very well travelled & can honestly say I've never been to Benidorm! I'm all for having a bit of culture/history/sun whilst holidaying but the sun is not enough of a reason for me to relocate to a ... Read More

Is it this hard finding good apartments right now? by Wrongholebutherewego
Sorry if there are threads. Please redirect me then. I'll have to go in a minute and only have Internet in the apartment I'm staying at. I've spoken to several real estate agents. They say prices have gone up 40 percent the last 6 ...
Hi, just my 4pence worth... How about re-negotiating the rental amount per month downwards to compensate for the fact LL won't sign Form H. Now I'm no expert but this topic is giving me serious jitters as I'll soon be moving to Malta ... Read More
€ v GBP by Wanderlust1
Hi Guys, I've received job offer in Malta I currently live reside in UK . Question is I've been offered my salary to be paid in either £GBP or €Euro. What currency would you opt for to have your monthly salary paid by? I will if I ...
Hi Scubaboy, the company that I currently work for want me to go to Malta. I will still own property in the UK. I see Malta as "working out of a different office" rather than me choosing to live in Malta as a lifestyle choice. I'm ... Read More

The salary is in the region of £50k per year & it'll only be myself & partner (who won't have to go to work) moving to Malta as we have no children to bleed us dry 😊. I'm hoping we'll have lots of disposable ... Read More

Sorry I think I mean from the angle of the £GBP being a more stable currency than the Euro & so the pound is worth more generally. Read More

Cars extortionate to buy & bus service crap... How do you travel? by Wanderlust1
Hi guys, I've been doing a lot of reading various topics & this intrigues me.....It appears from the threads on here that cars are extortionate to buy/maintain & bus services it seems from comments are crap/unreliable then...... How do people get ...
€1.50 sounds amazing. Is Sliema/St Julian's bus service generally reliable/frequent all year round? I'd rather let someone else bus me around as although I've been driving on UK roads for 15yrs+ I haven't got to confidence to drive on Mata's roads. ... Read More
