Anyone in Malta as an early retiree with a UK government pension (not old age pension) please tell me if you have to pay social charges whilst resident in Malta.

No social charges to pay but if you are "economically self sufficient" for your EID you will need private health care and proof of sufficient income.

So if economically self sufficient you don't benefit from the UK/Malta reciprocal healthcare ?

I'm confused now. Do I need private healthcare ? Do I get healthcare through the agreement ? Do I pay social charges ?

Thanks everybody, I'll call with the health dept when I'm there in November and give them my personal circumstances.

you dont have to be of retirement age to apply for this , its for anyone (uk citizen) who wouldnt be entitled to health care other wise
so not working and not entitled to
i know someone who has one who isnt working and is below retirement age
