Hello, we are relocating to Malta this year, and I am looking for a school for my son. He is 13 and has gone to German schools so far. WE got a place offered in QSI and one in St. Edwards. I heard from a friend that QSI was no-good, but have yet ...
Many, many years ago our American neighbour sent his son to St. Edwards. When he left at 18 he was immediately accepted into the US Navy to train as a fighter pilot. We thought that was very impressive, to transfer from a traditional European ... Read More
Spanish residency
Which is best? Apply for Spanish residence with Canadian or UK passport? Are there any advantages post-Brexit to one or the other? Tax-wise or benefit-wise? I do not get British health cover and part of my income is Canadian. Read More

Hi all, Newbie on the Malta forum? Don't know how to start? This thread is for you ;) We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country, or to tell us more on ...
I don't think you would be taxed twice. You would probably be taxed in Italy and then declare it in Malta as tax paid. You need an expert, but tax system basically fair. Check Malta Government website. Read More

I think you are right not to trust anyone. Do you have a good lawyer? Try contacting the British High Commission for recommendations. My lovely architect, a Maltese elderly man, said some people take Brits for a ride. He called it racist! These ... Read More

If you look for accommodation a little inland, need not be far, you should get the best deal. From Sliema check the map for Balzan, Birkirkara, San. Gwann etc. There might be others. If you plan to use local buses, San Gwann has a bus directly to ... Read More
