Hello,
Im new to the forum. And also new to Malta.
I arrived last week, and I will be in Malta for a half year as an artist.
This means I make performances all over Malta, and I don't have a steady job on paper.
I bought a car few days after my arrival. The dealer told me all the papers that I needed.
So I made a phone contract to show some proof of address, made my insurance papers without a problem.
He took all my papers to transfer the car on my name, as he had done many times before for foreigners he said.
The day after I got a call, and he told me, he can not transfer the car on my name, as I need a Maltese ID card.
Is this true? Is not my european passport enough?
The problem is, I really need a car, I live in a very remote area on a hill, where no busses drive.
Also because I make performances all over Malta, also in the night time, I need to be mobile.
The Maltese ID is also a problem, my first official performances, is only half way june.
And all I been told is that you need a steady job to get your Maltese ID.
Which I don't have, and not plan on having.
I would just think this is Europe, and my passport would be enough.
For transferring a cheap car on my name, I don't need to show a fancy job. As long as I can pay the car myself.
For insurance I can image a rule like this, but to just put it in my name?
What to do?
Thanks!
