Hi Everyone, I'm James. I'm 33 and live in Scotland at the minute. My folks are moving to Gozo as soon as their house is sold here and due to a change in my circumstances, I have decided I fancy a new start too and I'm going to join them.
Still really confused about the residency / work rules. I'm not 100% about whether I can just turn up and work straight away (if I find a job) or is it a long process gaining residency and then having to obtain a work permit.
Suppose other main concern is what to do for a job. I have spent my whole career here working in various lines of security (prison service , nightclubs etc) and wonder if I am going to have to re-train or look for something totally different. Fortunately, have a couple of quid saved but it won't last too long.
Anyway, hopefully get to know some of you before I arrive. Nothing worse than going to a new country and being Jimmy No Mates. It's like the first day of Primary school all over again lol
