Hi
I'm moving to Malta within the next month with my patner and daughter due to my partner having to relocate for work (it's been very short notice). I'm hoping you will be able to point me in the right direction on a few issues.
He will be based in Sliema and we will need to be based somewhere within a short bus journey/walking distance as we don't intend on trying to get a car straight away, if at all. Do you have any suggestions for places around Sliema that would be suitable for the commute and with a school nearby for my primary school aged daughter? Places to avoid would be good too!
The other property based issue I suppose is a swimming pool. We have a communal pool here in Spain and I'd love one when we move to Malta too especially for the hot summer days, but can't seem to find any properties around the Sliema area that have communal pools, are there any?
I've checked the government website and although it gives a list of schools it doesn't state how to register your child at a school, is this just done direct with the school? (she will be going to the local state school of wherever we end up)
Is there anything we have to do when we get there, his company will obviously point him in the right direction tax wise etc, but is there anywhere else we have to register in order to be able to access services? (In Spain we've had to get on the padron to get my daughter into school and get NIE numbers in order to get mobile phones, internet etc so I was wondering if it would be similar in Malta>)
Thanks for any help you can give me.
