What do I need to know before retiring in Malta?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Malta, they said...
"Malta is a great destination for retirees looking for a sunny, Mediterranean lifestyle. Expats should research the cost of living in Malta, as it is higher than in many other countries. It is also important to consider the language barrier, as Maltese is the official language, although English is widely spoken. Expats should also be aware of the healthcare system in Malta, as it is a public system and may not meet the same standards as in other countries. Additionally, expats should research the tax system in Malta, as there are certain tax benefits for retirees. Finally, expats should consider the cultural differences between their home country and Malta, as this can affect their experience of living in the country," remarked another expat who made the move to Malta.
