Has anyone ordered online through Ikea Sicily by sarah101
Hi, just wandering if anyone has ordered online through Ikea Sicily. There are a good few things we would like to purchase but are struggling on the website even tho we have translated the page. Maybe our bad Internet connection we have at the mo ...
I have done exactly this... Below is my research... As a direct comparison, for an order of exactly the same items from IKEA, with www.maltashopper.com it would be 聙372.86 for the order and 聙180.84 shipping and delivery, with www.holland-malta.com ... Read More
Offering tutoring and proof reading - can anyone help? by 165721
Hi, My partner is looking for work as an English Literature teacher (she has 9 years experience), and is sending her CV to the independent/private schools. In the meantime she is trying to get some interest for services she is offering in proof ...
Well we gave up trying to get a job in the end. Perhaps her CV was too rich, and so perhaps they thought she would be too expensive. Read More

Driving from the UK by Rocking Ken
Hi All, Plans are going well for the move to Malta :D I was wondering if anyone has actually driven from the UK? I am looking at importing my car once I'm in Malta as I would have had it for the two years and hopefully avoid the import tax. Would ...
And then having got here, we applied for exemption with a view to driving it home at the end of our stay. We were turned down on the basis of the time the vehicle was owned, as it was 2 days under the 2 years (even though the car had been ours for ... Read More

Just to add my tuppence worth... We drove down last Christmas. The whole trip I calculated as costing us just under 拢600 not including hotels and food on the way down, which is a cost you can control. We did Eurotunnel - France - Switzerland - ... Read More

Cheers scubaboy, she isn't an EFL teacher, she is an academic English teacher of 9 years. She has done a little EFL but it really isn't her bag - but it's still an option should it get desperate. She has applied to many English jobs as advertised ... Read More

Msida has recently been all but washed away! If you do live there make sure its off street level and don't park a car on the road... 380 for 2 bedrooms is not bad. Be aware that estate agents charge 50% of a month as a fee. Utilities - my wife and ... Read More

Hi Anna, I actually set up a Facebook page last week and had a little go at advertising, so we now have I think 61 likes, mostly in Malta, so that's promising. It's just getting the message to the right people now, who need the services! Read More

The only proof they need of living in Malta is a rental agreement covering 12 months. Therefore, if you plan on staying here for 12 months or more then it might be worth it. As long as you have been outside of Malta (in Congleton I suppose) for 24 ... Read More

You can get your ID in five days or so. Just need to go to Valletta with your passport, then they send you a letter, then you go back and get your card. No idea if this will affect things. If you have been resident outside of Malta for 24 months, ... Read More
