hi there
I am Italian so EU resident and I have been offered a job in Malta and just recently i signed the contract for it. Up to now i have been living and working in London.
Obviously i will need to have a bank account there and i just understood most banks in Malta want to have a "reference" from a previous bank and it just seems nonsense but let's move on.
My question is:
Since i have a job in Malta, would that make a difference to have a reference letter from the company saying i will be employed with this xyz company bla bla bla just as it is in the UK where in order to have a bank account you need a reference letter either from an employer or school + your passport and that's it?
Or is absolutely mandatory the reference letter from the previous bank? quite frankly i wouldn't know what to ask for at the bank.
many thanks
Gabrio
