The information contained within the pages (walls) of this BE forum are priceless, way better than any google search, book or encyclopedia.
Having said that I have read & spent a few years of computer time reading most everything on here, from Gozomark's 'sticky' threads to the volumes of shared members stories.
Most that have moved in may have had an easy go of it, others finding the frustrating 'open one door then there are many more to go' .
My simple question to those that have made the move to Malta/Gozo & based on that experience - what simple advice would you give someone coming in as a self sufficient resident cold turkey?.
The reality of it, the steps after getting off the plane, on the basis no friends or relatives in Malta/Gozo?
a) The suggested type of place to stay, for how long & how cost effective?
b) How quickly would it take to find furnished accommodation (long let), then to set up the list of utilities needed?
c) A conservative estimate how long it would take to do the finicky stuff (all good info within BE on how to do it) - such as a Bank account, register yourself, health card, doctors & anything I have missed
