Hi and welcome to the forum

Being from Manchester, yes, you can just turn up as an EU citizen and rent somewhere and get a job. Yes you need residency cards, which you apply for within 3 months of arriving in Malta. There is a big sticky thread at the top of the forum giving all the info you could possible want in regards to your questions. Give it a read, as members have put a lot of effort into answering questions with detailed replies

thanks

Hi trip,

get a job on an oil rig !

Scaffolding is a safe job as long as construction keeps up but you are looking at a 'Maltese' salary or even less ( due to influx of so called scaffolders from Africa). As they are always falling off their unsafe scaffolds they need to be replaced quite often ! ( just joking but maybe not that far from reallity).

I think the UK is the only country in the EU without residence cards . So yes,all foreign residents have to register for residency and,in Malta, receive an e-residence card.

You do not have to apply ! You are supposed to register yourself resident. Otherwise you stay a tourist.

Cheers
