Permanent Residency, Ordinary Residency or Temporary Residency? It depends on your financial circumstances, not on how much time you will spend in Malta. Getting it wrong could cost you dearly!

What are the rules post-EU accession? What is the likely demand for your services? NO ADVERTISING - adverts belong in our classifieds section. Ads, self-promotion etc will be deleted.
Moderator: gozomark
No, really... it does!
But does it matter more in Malta than at home?

Here's the place to discuss schools in the state system. Private schools are commercially operated businesses just like any other, so they're included with all the other premium content. Any posts here about non-state schools will be removed.

We get a lot of requests from journos wanting to interview expats so here's the place to do it. Please, everyone, have a look and see if you can help. (This is for Malta-specific requests only - general requests belong on the main BE Forum. Press releases/adverts will be deleted, so please don't waste our time. Thanks.)

Post here only if your question doesn't belong anywhere else. Don't post loads of questions all in one message - that would defeat the point of the boards and such posts will be deleted (don't feel embarrassed if you have 5 or 6 questions - you're welcome to ask them in separate posts in the appropriate place). (NB - if you want to post about something not Malta-specific, then use the main British Expat Forum.)

...and in these threads too. But you'll have to dig out the nuggets yourself! These are legacy threads from the good old days of the flatform board that are just too daunting to upgrade!
Moderator: gozomark
This board is for all the jumbled up info about Malta. We've asked that, on the info boards, you please post on the relevant boards, start new threads for new topics, and please keep on topic. Otherwise the info is too hard too find for those coming after, and the already overworked Mods end up having to repeatedly answer the same questions. (If your posting is locked in here, please feel free to post again in the appropriate place.)
