Anybody with household goods moving space from the UK ? by CarlieChops

Will pass through < GBP1000 quotes as and when received. Hopefully some benefit to forum. Received GBP835 quote from Simon at Fraser@staples-int.com. All Malta not Gozo. No packing/delvery manual help. CarlieChops Read More

Just another bit of feedback and maybe warning to other South African movers to Malta. We made the error of thinking that the 18% import VAT on personal effects from a third country is calculated on the 5.3% import duty. The 18% VAT is calculated on ... Read More

Thanks George. It is just that we have quite a solid line-up of expenses stacked once we land in Malta with school and other deposits, some business expenses, a car (not sure if we will get dealer finance) etc. With the weak rate, taking our ... Read More

Some more questions and feedback a month pre-move : Huge confusion on our side re the new "no appointment" residency application change. As EU we want to apply by post to be pro-active timewise but obviously cannot use our old post box. If we ask ... Read More
