Hi all!
I just wanted to confirm a few things as I will be coming to Malta in September for the duration of a year for study purposes. The visa I will be applying for is a long stay visa, and I understand that once I arrive I will need to drop off my application for a student residence permit and identity registration form at the Department for Citizenship and Expatriate Affairs. Does anyone know how long this process will take? And following that, when/if granted the permit can I then register with the ETC?
I also wanted to ask about healthcare, I received a quotation from Cigna global health and for the basic core coverage it is about 52/month without any added benefits. Are there any cheaper alternatives as I will be on a student budget, or is that the average going rate? Thank you for your help!!
