Maltese companies rarely reply to emails or when they do they are very slow responding.
Most of the websites are rarely updated and if you telephone and they say they will ring you back, they don't!

Its just customer service Maltese style.

You get used to it

Mostly if you want to find a job or accommodation in Malta, you need to be here, as the Maltese will not waste their time replying to someone who may never have been here or is looking to move in the next year or two, also Maltese applicants come first, followed by EU citizens and then TCNs
Before I retired to the islands and still lived in the UK I used to apply for jobs in the UK and never got the courtesy of a reply, it is no different here!

Thanks Terry, guess I shouldn't take it personally then!

With regards to general social contact (eg. with friends), are people quite reliable at texting back? The few individual Maltese people I've dealt with have been pretty prompt at replying and very helpful. Even the corporate people have been very prompt with responding once I've met them in person.

It just seems a bit strange given how slow the companies are. Thanks for any help.

They do seem to be more into social media, its just business orientated bits that get forgotten.
Once here you will realise that everything is slow.

Thanks Terry

I don't know.
Maltese are not like british, maybe more similar to sicily my homeland.
But in my personal experence, i've been replied very quick from maltese people, surely quicker then sicilian REAL SLOW people
