I would advise you to visit here for a couple weeks before taking the job. I
would advise you Not to bring dogs. it is very difficult to get them in and if
papers are not exactly correct or get lost or are not with the dogs when they
arrive the airport authorities have been known to shoot dogs at the airport! I
would advise you to live here for a bit before signing on the dotted line...it's
not all that....unless of course you are rich and can afford the hardships and
can get off the island whenever you need some more cosmopolitain culture/arts.

Hello,

My husband has just been offered a job on Malta - the contract is
for a maximum of 3 years. He would be working in Valletta. Would
greatly appreciate any advice as to where we should live. Thinking
of St. Julians or possibly inland a bit, Attard or Mellieha -
although not sure about how long traveling to Valletta would be. We
are thinking of renting initially - although it would probably have
to be a house rather than apartment as we have two dogs. Also, if
anyone has moved to Malta with dogs recently would appreciate any
information as to Maltese requirements for bringing dogs into the
country. I presume quarantine isn't required now as Malta is in EU.
I also had conflicting advice from British Airways and Air Malta
about transporting the dogs. BA said they could go as excess
baggage in the hold. Air Malta said they would have to go as cargo
as they didn't think the Maltese authorities would accept them as
excess baggage!
