Anna

Hi Anna,
Let's just pick a day and post it and see if anyone joins us. Can you do next Tuesday or Wednesday?  That would give a week to plan.  Do you have any favorite spots?  I'm in Sliema/St Julian's,

Hi!

I'm moving to Malta very soon and would be interested to meet up with others. Please keep me informed.

By the way, I am desperately trying to figure out where to live. Do any of you have any recommendations? I was thinking about Sliema but heard from others that it was a) overpriced, b) too touristic, and c) too much traffic.

Cheers,
Nicolai

Yeah!!!  A current post on this forum!  My name is Debbie and I am still in America with the plan to be in Malta by April 1 2010. 

I love the idea of getting together and making new friends as I will be there (hopefully) for 1 year.

But "Big" question and I hope maybe you can help a little.  Is there a way to get a temporary visa for Malta before I leave the US or do I have to be in Malta first and then do paperwork while I'm there and hope to be approved?  I have exhausted the internet and the official government sites.

Any info would be GREATLY appreciated!

Looking forward to maybe meeting all of you soon!

Debbie

Hi ,
I came across this group and forum by chance this morning and joined .

I just posted about our existing expat meeting group . I don't know if you already got together as this topic started in August but feel free to come along to our next Friday's meeting .I'm not sure were it will be but if you are interested contact me and I will forward you our newsletter on Wednesday or Thursday with the details .It is a great opportunity to talk about all Maltese experiences and problems or just to meet other expats.
The belly dance lesson idea is really . I'm sure some of our 'girls' would be interested in that ! Did you get anything organized ? Please keep me informed so I can pass the info on .

Regards

Ricky

Hi All,

I am hoping to be moving to Malta soon, from South Africa. I am grateful to have EU citizenship, and feel that I would adapt well to such a diverse and historic place. Reading this forum has delighted me, since I too would in search of such a community...
Good on you lot for getting something going!
with a bit of luck, I hope to see you all soon.

Hi aca ,

well , I was at the Mint cafe from 2.55 to 3.25 pm and enjoyed my coffee alone .I guess you aren't really that interested in the expat meeting.I don't have that much time to me around waiting for someone to not show up.
Ricky

Hi crispy ,

Hope to see you here in Malta.
Ricky

Hi there. I'm American as well, but have lived in Paris and London for the past 8 years. I'm moving to Malta at the beginning of November. I'd be very intereted in an expat social club. Please let me know what kind of progress you've made in getting it going.

Tom

Hi Tom,

our Expats group has been going strong since May .At the moment we meet every Friday evening at a different location for drinks and nibbles and had about 25 folks around including Marilyn from the beginning of this thread . I think she liked it a lot .This Friday we were at the Terrazzo on Spinola Bay so keep in contact and I can tell you where the next meeting after your arrival will be.

We also organize other activities like private boat trips , concert visits and members get together a lot on their own.

Have a safe trip to Malta

Ricky

Thanks Ricky. I appreciate the update very much and look forward to meeting up once I get to Malta.

Be well.

Tom

Hi Everyone -
I missed lots of posts on the thread!  I'll testify that the Ex-pats group was the most fun I've had since coming to Malta.  It's well organized and the people are a blast.  It's exactly what I was hoping to get started, and I give special thanks to Ricky for turning me onto it.  My husband and I now have some follow up "play dates" with people we met and can't wait until the next Ex-pats meet!

Hi Marilyn ,

glad you liked the ' party ' and thanks for the compliments. Did you see the 'bellydance' post ? I actually found a class being offered in the Times today. !So if anybody else is interested ( no , not me -))))get back to me and I will get Ilene to try and organize an Expat special .
So look forward to meeting you all on Friday wherever the next 'party' will be.

Ricky
