Hello All, This is Fatima from Lebanon, currently based in Beirut and relocating to Malta beginning of May. The whole move is stressing me out already as I don't know where I will stay at the beginning and how to find a decent accommodation in ...

This really depends on the company you will be working for. Some companies will pay flights and give you a company apartment for 1 - 2 months. Other companies will add some living allowance on top until your first paycheck, a friend of mine was ... Read More
Help on job offer (salary) by fleurdelis22
Hi All, I am being offered by a private company in Valletta a position as a junior accountant with 22k salary. Is this a good salary to start in Malta? I am currently a CPA in my country, working as an advisory professional (management ...
I'd agree, 鈧�22k is around what you would expect as a junior accountant in Malta. If you do a good job most companies would probably increase that to 鈧�25-鈧�26k after your 6 month probation. Read More

Malta Park is ok, however, you will find a lot of "agents" on there still. People will post apartments on there and just send their friend over as the "agent" so you still pay the fees. Sometimes you will find a good property ... Read More

There's a website with direct contact details of property owners called Noagentfees.com. It's not incredibly popular but I found my last apartment on there and it gets maybe an update or 2 a day with a new property. Read More

Form H by Adamazin

Hi, thanks for the reply's, I was misunderstanding what the form was for, I thought it was more about declaring meter readings or something like that. It makes more sense now, thanks for the help ;) Read More

Hello all. need an apartment for rent
Hello Pauline, I'm no expert as I'm not even in Malta yet, but from what I know you may struggle with the budget on a short term let. For the budget on short term it may be worth looking for a room to let rather than a full apartment. Adam. Read More

The reason we didn't want to live in the south was because I had heard that the bus service is terrible and it takes over an hour (up to 2 hours in rush hour) to get to Valletta if it is quicker than this it could widen our search area. Read More

I don't understand why people don't go through this sort of security. They are asking for your date of birth, not a credit card number. What could they do if it was a fraudster? Send you a birthday card? Read More
