I have an e-mail confirming our appointment for residency for September, would that do to show us taking up permanent residency?

just to clarify - you have applied for a residency document, not for permanent residency (that you can apply for after 5 years residency)

Yes, I now it's a residency document, but does that not show the intention of staying in Malta? If we weren't planning on staying, we wouldn't be applying for it.

yes it does, but permanent residency is something else - you are looking to become a resident rather than a tourist, which you have to do after 3 months. Permanent residency is something you can apply for after 5 years only :-)

Hello everyone


We have submitted our docs last week for the exeption, but I just received an e-mail from them today looking for additional paperwork. I have no problem providing 3 out of 4, all it takes is an e-mail from the country we resided in previuosly and I should get them all tomorrow. My problem is number 4.

'Evidence of transfer of residence to Malta:

1.聽 聽 聽 Acquisition of property in Malta (including rent agreements, rent payments covering at least twelve months from taking up residence in Malta)'

I have given them a copy of our rent agreement, which is 6 months contract. Is there anything else we can produce instead? Obviuosly we havent paid the 6 months rent up-front, not alone a year's one! I have an e-mail confirming our appointment for residency for September, would that do to show us taking up permanent residency?

We're really stuck on this one, could anyone help? Would really appreciate it.聽

Tinna

I think the problem is your agreement is for only six months and they require something that shows you intend to stay twelve months or more. Unless you plan to extend your rental contract you are stuck! showing them anything to do with residency is a red herring.

Don't worry about the VRT if it passes an MOT it will fly through聽 a VRT.

for most things, thats true, but not for rust - in Malta they are much stricter on rust on non-structural bits of bodywork

Hi Terry
Many thanks on that.
Confused on what to do about registering the car in the meantime.
Do I wait for the tax exemption process to complete/return then register the car?
Thanks
Sean

You start the registration process by applying for the exemption, once that is done then you can register the vehicle.

That's brill Terry.
I'll try and drop first thing Monday will be there at 6am as I would imagine there's a long line of people!!
I just wanted to ask the question I asked you when I was there earlier this week.By the time I was pointed to the correct cubicle they were wrapping up..
But 'hey' as you said 'its Malta'..
Just got to do the wife's car only owned that a few months(as our 19 year old decided to write off the other car we had owned for two years a month before we left)so gotta suck the duty on that one.
Guess were stuck with the 20 day rule on that one which means sorting by end of next week...or run it until October and get a single to Sicily then a single back?? Guess a return wouldn't wash eh?
I noticed you're in Mellieha,we love the place,hate Swieqi where we are and plan a move in January. Only made base here as it's a friends place and thought our 19 year old would have a ball in Paceville. Spends all his time in Mellieha,just got on the football team last night.
Just got himself a job at Popeye village.
Must buy you a beer in the band club for your kind advice.
Sean

Looking forward to it

Just had a letter from Transport Malta regarding our Tax Exemption on our vehicle (owned for 8 years)
Sent a boat load of documents to prove ownership for that period.
TM have requested:
Proof of Acquisition and Disposal of property.
We have not sold our UK property,our son now lives in it.
Can prove Acquisition but not disposal because we have not disposed.
Any suggestions or others experience for a response welcome.
Thanks

As Tinna9 said its more to do with proving you have (or applied for ) residency in Malta. Swamp them with anything you have and just sit back and wait.
We got stopped by a TM road check, the guy asked why we were still on French plates after three months. We showed him our temp letter and explained that we were still waiting, he made a phone call there and then, lo and behold two days later we had our letter come to say it had been approved!

Good luck
Terry
