Hi Sara,
Well we only came here in April so we are still getting used to a lot of things.
We were planning on buying somewhere and looked at loads of propertys but have
decided to rent for 6 months first to get a better idea of the best areas to
live and to make sure we are 100% sure. I wouldn't recommend rushing into buying
somewhere straight away, the first few months can be quite hard without the
added stress of looking for a property .
On the whole things have gone quite smoothly but sorting anything out to do with
banks, residency permits and paperwork can be quite difficult and frustrating,
but it all gets done eventually. Also the driving here is a bit crazy, it takes
a bit of getting used to. The good thing about being here (apart from the
obvious) is that everybody speaks English which definatley makes day to day
things a lot easier.
My biggest advice would to give yourselt time to settle, dont rush into anything
and be prepared to have ups and downs in the first few months.
If theres anything else you want to ask about i'll help all i can.

Hi,
I moved to Malta in April and my and my husband found that you have to apply for
a job first, if you get the job then your employer sorts out the work permits.
Its a bit of a pain and there tends to be a bit of paper work to sort out
though. Im not sure how it would work with you being self-employed.
I've noticed a few vacancies for hairdressers and beauty therapists in the local
papers, it might be a good place to start until you get established. There is a
list of job vacancies at www.etc.gov.mt you could check that out.
As far as estate agents go i found the best to be www.remax.com. and
www.maltahomes.net (the guy that runs that is English and is called Paul ) there
is also a website that allows you to buy direct from the seller, its called
www.ownersbest.com. which means you dont have to pay agent fees and they have
some excellent properties.
Hope i've been of some help and good luck with the move.
Lisa
