Pet Passports by RubyMarie
So a year ago we got a dog from Noah's Ark shelter here in Malta. He's 2 years old, has already been microchipped and had a few shots- off the top of my head i'm not sure which ones. We are thinking of moving to the UK (Scotland) and of course will ...
Have you asked the ferry people about a pet cabin. This allows you to take the pet into the cabin with you so it won't have to travel in the cabin area. They are a little more expensive but well worth the cost. The kennel areas are 'not' nice. ... Read More

Be sure to give yourself 6-7 months prior to date of travel in order to be sure. With the rabies, you have to have the jab, wait 30 days, have a blood test and then you can travel 6 months from date of blood test as long as the results clear. If ... Read More

sorry can't say that i've had any problems at all. Though like Chad said, every ad on there will likely have a phone number so unless you want to create an ad and post it, having an actual account isn't a big deal maybe Read More
Ground Floor with no air con ? by SunshineLover2011
Hi, I've been offered a ground floor apartment in SPB with no air con.The owners say that because its a bottom floor the heat shouldnt be much of a problem....should i beleive them ?
we used to live on a first floor apartment in SPB without a/c, there was nothing but a huge garage beneath us. Our flat was FREEZING cold in the winter- we could see our breath even! And in the summers, it was quite hot at times but probably better ... Read More

Hi so this question is for the ladies out there..is it hard to get contraceptives here aka the pill? :) I've finally run out of my birth control pills that I brought with from Canada and I have no idea how it works here in Malta to get them. ...
Yes you are right mgrima68! It is super easy. I walk past a pharmacy in Pieta on my way home from work so I stopped in, told her what I wanted and she gave it to me. No questions asked. I paid 8.50 per sheet (1 sheet = 1 month obviously). That is a ... Read More

I agree with Sarafima, if you want to be close enough to Valletta but in a somewhat quieter area, Birkirkara is good- easy to catch the bus too. Also Qormi isn't too far away..my husband and I are moving to Hamrun in a couple weeks -currently we ... Read More

Maltese citizenship law?? by wahoo!
I saw on wikipedia (reputable, I know....) that applications for citizenship are frequently turned down due to xenophobic attitudes. How long does it take for Maltese citizenship? What's the average time? How long does it take for permanent ...
I've also heard that it can be quite difficult now to get citizenship here. I am married to a Maltese and I cannot get citizenship until after we have been married for 5 years. Someone else that I know who married a Maltese, finally was able to get ... Read More
So how many of the ex pats are now fluent in Maltese . . . by angelabraveheart
I realise that everyone speaks English over there which is fab, makes holidaying so much easier, but I would like to be able to speak a minimal Maltese once over there (couple of weeks and counting) I was delighted with myself at the hotel back in ...
I also want to learn to speak the language. We plan on living here for a long time, so to learn the local language- even though some say there is no need- is helpful I think. You do come across some Maltese that do not know how to write or read the ... Read More

Well we will be moving into a very old Maltese townhouse, so I don't want to go too modern so that it looks really out of place, though I also don't want to stick with really old looking furniture either. We're looking for a happy medium I guess- if ... Read More

Well its all sorted out now. I applied for my freedom of movement and residency permit this morning...with I must say relative ease. I still am sort of shocked at that to be honest! Quick and painless for the most part. A little hiccup but nothing ... Read More

You can call Wembley's for taxi service, they are very good and decently priced too. Just DO NOT take one of the white taxis. They will rip you off! If you have no choice, agree on a price before you get in the taxi and stick to your guns when you ... Read More
