Arrived and settling in... by JackC
Greetings, My name is Jack, my wife is Jill (cute, eh?) and we have just arrived to take up residency. We are here with our 14 year old daughter, Tori and our 19 y/o daughter Zhenya will be here off and on as well. We are presently in Gozo and ...
Not this time, I'm afraid. We were in Nadur and Xewkija most the day. We'd be happy to meet up with others - especially those on Gozo - most any time, just propose a time/place and I'll check with the social director. ;) JackC Read More

Buying a car in Malta by JackC
I've started reading up on vehicle buying/importing on the official website, but I have a couple of questions. 1. If I buy a used car from an individual in Malta, do the high registration tax fees apply to me? Anything about that option would be ...
Thank you all for the help. After reading everything, I think we will start with a monthly lease/rental, then look for a local car to buy. Any thoughts, cautions or comments on buying a local car? Thanks and we hope to meet some of you after we ... Read More

Very sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I would like to know the distinctions of each. For example, what exactly is a Maisonette? A terraced house? What makes something a 'house of character' as opposed to just being old? What makes something a ... Read More
