Hi as per my introduction we are looking to retire to Malta & our biggest concern will be healthcare for my wife who is 61 years old & who has a number of disabilities & conditions.She is an Irish National & Irish passport holder and has been living in the UK for the last 58 years.Private Health Insurance would be expensive because of her underlying conditions which also maybe excluded as well so I wondered what state health care if any she will be entitled to in Malta.Any help on this appreciated- @Pidge22
You really need to check government websites and do your research for all this stuff.As to the health issue. I'm lrish, have just moved to Malta. It is simply a case of applying for your Malta ID card if your a member of EU. You need to show proof of residence etc for this. When you get the ID or temporary number you can access public healthcare. In the meantime GPS only charge 15 - 20 euro. But medication is v expensive.I have no clue about British rights in Malta since ye left the EU.Like l said, do your research before you come.- @deirdrehickey

I have no clue about British rights in Malta since ye left the EU.Would apply as a EU spouse and get basically full EU rights, its quite a easy process.-
Thankyou so much for all the replies and that gives me a much better idea of what to do....this is all very daunting & I am so pleased I have found this forum...It would have all been so much more easier & straightforward if it wasn't for Brexit!- @Pidge22
