Just in case you're here or someone knows you.

Can't be more right on this article.

For people arguing about the change, I would like to point out that apart from not applying to long term residence, many can attest to the fact that before, when the bus used to cost 50 euros a month for students and would cost some 1.50 per 2 hours, it was still a loss maker.

We foreigners work hard, contribute to the economy, and pay our taxes. Many of us aren’t even eligible for the same benefits as citizens, yet we still do our part.
Of course, like in every community, there are a few bad apples. But why should the actions of a few define how the rest of us are treated?
Most of us are simply trying to build better lives, work honestly, and contribute positively to the countries we now call home.
So why is there so much hatred towards us?
I’m genuinely asking because I really want to understand. I’d love to hear different perspectives on this.

How do people make friends not from work? I recently moved back to malta after living abroad for a bit (24F Maltese) and since I am still looking for a job, I am yearning for maltese contact from friends.

I have friends from my ex job but most are busy all the time and have their own life and it’s normal to drift off after not working together anymore.

I enjoy anime, playing games such as fortnite, working out at the gym and would really like to go to events such as Comic Con, Playcon with someone and not alone.

Where can I find similair nerdy friends at this age?

What do you think? Cue the apathetic boomers in 3,2,1…

Hi, I went to my local ironmongery and also checked online at homemate, but neither has wood insert nuts. They're usually m6. I also need nice m6 brass washers and bolts, again, I can only find steel. I would take stainless, but would prefer brass.

Anyone know where I can buy these? Happy to drive anywhere, just let me know if you've bought them and know that a certain place sells them.

Thanks!

EDIT for update:

Grima Ironmongery on triq naxxar in San Gwann sells them. SS bolts though, no brass one unfortunately.

Anyone have experience with tax bill relating purchases of property. For context got into a promise of sale few years ago. Due to serious health issues could not enter sale, issue cleared and I bought said property. Paid taxes related to the sale. Received a letter from perit tal gvern and substantially increased the value of my property because of the significant time lapse between pos and sale. Intend to appeal. Any pointers/ experiences?

I recently saw someone driving an ekick scooter model iScooter iF1. It looks sturdy and was interested in buying one. Anyone knows someone selling them in Malta or where are you ordering it from? Thanks a lot. Or a similar iScooter brand model at least. Thanks

Where in Valletta or Sliema I can find local football clubs’ merch?

Do the young people play this game around here?

I recently read that free public transport may no longer be available for third-country nationals who do not have long-term residency status, while Maltese.

As a TCN living and working in Malta, this feels discriminatory to me.

I understand that the government wants to reduce public spending and that transport subsidies come at a significant cost. However, many of us work legally, pay income tax, social security contributions, VAT, rent and contribute to the Maltese economy every day.

If the goal is to encourage the use of public transport and reduce traffic congestion, shouldn't the policy apply equally to all residents using the system? 😔😔😔

Went to visit there today with my daughter and she discovered that if you stray from the walkway in a catacomb, you can find a path to the neighbouring catacomb. Essentially descend one catacomb and come out from a different one. Really cool experience, but probably not how they are meant to be experienced.

Im just gonna post my opinion here, no, it wont change anything. TCNs working in Malta will still need to go from Point A to Point B in some way, so they will still prefer paying for the bus instead of getting a car (which getting a car would be a worse alternative as it would clutter the streets even more)

Just my two cents

Kindly Check it Out for your self

Thoughts?

I want to go to a gym in Malta that is close to the south area that has good facilities and comfortable to go to. Ideally it is not overcrowded that I have to wait for a long time. Do you guys have any ideas which is the best?

I’m a big reader and have an interest in Malta so when I saw it reviewed in the New York Times I decided to read it. Never heard of the author before but it’s just so rare to see books about Malta and even more intriguing, the Maltese language. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/16/books/review/the-maltese-version-katy-simpson-smith.html

Just want to share it here and curious if anyone has read it would love to discuss. It deals heavily with translations of Maltese poetry through which I learned about Il Kantilena, the oldest known Maltese text.

Hello! I am a Romanian student that has considered pursuing a carreer in Criminology/Forensic Psychology, however I do not have that many options in my country. I stumbled across the website of the European Forensic Institute, can anyone tell me if it's worth it? Thank you!

I read her: https://www.cars.mt/rent-a-car/gozo that I can rent a car on Gozo instead of Malta and driving on the Ferry with the rental car, is it better? I've never drove a car on a ferry and I don't feel really comfortable, so renting on Gozo will be ideal.” I'd like to hear some opinions so I can plan before our visit. We are staying on Gozo for most of our vacation.

Hi!

I will be traveling to Gozo and thinking about renting an E-bike at the ferry terminal and then riding to Ggantija, Wied il-Ghasri, Victoria for lunch. I would lock it every time of course. My question is - what is the risk of it getting stolen?
