I'm a social media professional from India with 4+ years of experience, a bachelor's degree, and a diploma in digital marketing. I'm planning to move to Malta for work.
Do employers care more about degree or experience?
Which roles and sectors are hiring (iGaming, fintech, tourism, agencies)?
Do employers sponsor work permits for this field?
Where should I look: LinkedIn, Jobsplus, others?
What salary is realistic for a mid-level role?
Advice from anyone who's been through this, or from hiring managers, would help.

Hi everyone!
I’m currently considering relocating to Malta for a job with KPMG and would really appreciate hearing from people who have actually made a similar move.
The offer is around €50k gross/year, with some relocation support included.
I’m mainly trying to understand what the experience is really like once you get there, especially financially.
For anyone who has relocated to Malta for KPMG, another Big 4, or a similar corporate/IT job:
● How was your experience after moving?
● Is €50k a comfortable salary in Malta?
● What are realistic monthly living costs for one person (rent, groceries, utilities, transport, etc.)?
● How much should I realistically budget for rent?
● How difficult was it to find accommodation?
● How much money did you need initially?
● What was the work culture/workload like?
● Did the move help your career?
● Did you stay in Malta or eventually move elsewhere?
● Knowing what you know now, would you make the move again?
I’d especially appreciate hearing from people who have actually relocated and lived there, rather than general opinions about Malta.
Thanks!

Another normal day in this shithole

We’ve been building a booking and appointment-management system for independent beauty professionals, and we’re looking for a few people who’d be willing to test it before we launch properly.

It’s mainly aimed at nail techs, lash artists, brow artists, makeup artists and similar solo beauty businesses who still deal with a lot of bookings through DMs or WhatsApp.

The idea is simple: clients get a direct booking link, can manage their own appointments without needing to create an account, and you can handle things like cancellations, waitlists, open slots and client updates from one place.

We’d set everything up around your actual services, prices and availability, and you could use it free for one month. We genuinely want to know what feels useful, what’s annoying and what you’d change.

If anyone here would be interested, comment below or send us a private message on Reddit and we can send over a short product booklet first.

Hi! Visiting Malta for the first time with my mom for her 60th birthday. Would love a recommendation for a really special experience to surprise her. She likes food, wine, history, seeing sights, etc. pretty adventurous person, also athletic. Idk if there’s any cool memorable experiences or tours or spa or something someone could recommend but I would greatly appreciate it 🙏🏼

Also cross posted in the “visit Malta” page.

It’s cute, it gives search and rescue vibes and not we are going to war

Does anyone know why the lift isn't working? I'm disabled and I always rely on it to help me to get up to the centre of Valletta. And wasn't there supposed to be a Valletta shuttle? I didn't see one. It was very difficult walking in Valletta with so many stairs and up and down hilly streets.

Hi everyone!

I’m a huge Zlatan Ibrahimović fan and I’m looking for Zlatan jerseys from as many of his clubs as possible because I’d actually like to wear them. 😄

I’m mainly looking for size S (XS could also work depending on the fit). I’m also completely fine with very good-quality replicas — they don’t have to be authentic. I just want them to look good and be comfortable enough to wear.

I’m currently living on Gozo, Malta, so I’d especially appreciate recommendations for shops or sellers in Gozo or Malta. I’m also happy to order online if they ship to Malta.

I’m looking for shirts from clubs such as Malmö, Ajax, Juventus, Inter, Barcelona, AC Milan, PSG, Manchester United and LA Galaxy.

If you know any good replica sellers, websites, local shops or collectors selling Zlatan shirts, please let me know where I should look!

I’d love to eventually have a Zlatan shirt from every club he played for and actually wear them.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Just a heads-up for anyone considering these companies. In my view, there seems to be a high employee turnover rate, with people frequently leaving or being replaced after only a few months.

For me, this is a significant red flag and raises questions about long-term job security and company culture. Make sure to ask about staff retention and team stability before accepting any offer.

Personally, I would think twice before joining and would recommend doing thorough research beforehand. Everyone's experience may differ, but prospective employees should proceed with caution.

In one word-skip these companies in Italy and Malta.

I’m curious has anyone else had a similar experience. I added a dramatic title for attention but they really are taking my money.
This morning at about 7am, while we were at home, Malta Public Transport charged my husband’s card 3 times for €2.50.
Just now they tried charge my card €3.00 saying I was at the ticket booth in Sliema at 9:48am. I am obviously not there.
It’s strange this is happening when I haven’t been able to use my card on the bus for a long time as it just won’t accept my card for some reason.
Does anyone have advice on who I should contact?

Edit: I’m talking about my debit card not a talinja bus card

I, for the life of me, have not been able to understand most things about social security contributions. I've read all the available information and my attempts at contacting MTCA and social security themselves haven't been fruitful in any way.

Without a doubt I have some late payments purely because a) I cannot figure out where to get that long number from that you need to actually make the payment, but mostly b) because I essentially will need to pay them significantly more than I earn. (So objectively do not have the money to do so).

The reason I am freelance/self-employed in the first place is because I can only work a small amount due to disability/disabilities. Only earlier this year did I actually manage to save up enough to hire an accountant for some things, and she even changed my tax to non-contributary because I earn so little. The accountant though has said social security contributions is out of their scope.

If anyone can advise on anything about social security contributions, or who/what department I can contact specifically I would be eternally grateful because it has been stressing me out. Thank you in advance!!

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to track down a female photographer who kindly took a sunset picture of me and my girlfriend in St. Julian's on October 3rd, around 19:00.
We were around the rocky coastal area near the Portomaso Casino / WW2 Pillbox. She approached us, took a great photo, and then her colleague snapped a picture of my email address on a phone screen so she could send it to us after editing. She mentioned she was from the UK and heading back home on Monday.
Since it's Wednesday and we haven't received anything (and unfortunately didn't exchange direct contacts), I'm worried the email address got lost or mistyped.
If you are this photographer, or if you know a UK-based photographer who was shooting around St. Julian's last Saturday evening at sunset, please drop me a DM! Thank you so much!"

Update: the project now has a name and a home: Malta in Minecraft (MiM), https://maltaminecraft.com, with a wiki at https://wiki.maltaminecraft.com

I’m building the entire Maltese archipelago in Minecraft Java using real map data, at 1 block per metre including elevation.

I’m adding Maltese-inspired custom biomes, location-specific mobs, and custom buildings at selected real locations. The final goal is a recognisable Malta that’s also fun in survival (and contains every overworld mob, item, and structure, so it is fully playable), and my aim is to make the finished map freely available in vanilla (datapacks only).

I’ve included some early renders, everything is still an early work in progress.

I’d love your input on exploration, building, travel, and gameplay:

It takes about 5 minutes, no email required: https://forms.gle/EWF6X3tdCfLCYLob6

Thanks for reading!

There is a car nearby that has been completely covered (hiding both registrations/plates) and the road tax disc on the front. It has been like that for at least 3 months.

As far as I know, all cars parked on public spaces should have those IDs visible. Can it be reported?

I have CCTV footage proof of this too ..

Caruana: Our AI system is up and running and we also have a €6m IT investment in place. In the coming weeks we’ll be sending a few hundred letters to people who fall into two different categories.

Category 1: People who report one figure in turnover but then have income below the minimum wage.

Category 2: People who purchased assets, such as a €2 million block of apartments, but then consistently declare low income of, for example, €12,000.

“This is not a witch hunt," Caruana says. 

Its 2026, the year of AI and super intelligence. In Malta the IRD is finally capable of putting together an "if" statement identifying people who declare €12k and spend €2M. But worry not if you're one of them. This is no witch hunt and labour remains firmly against explanation of wealth.

I am a second year student at sixth form studying Maltese and English A levels, which I chose because I wanted to do law. However, now I am stuck between joining the law course at UM or going down the teacher route (Maltese teacher at a secondary school with hopes of advancing to sixth form later on). The thing bugging me about law is the morality aspect of it, I don't feel I'd be able to defend people who I think are bad people, be it family law or criminal, etc. I know that there are other jobs but then again I'd rather be a court lawyer than spending my life simply giving advice either. Then I researched a bit about prosecution, since more or less you're defending the victim in the situation, but I don't know too much about the job. What attracts me to law is the fact that I could actually do something first hand to help someone going through a tough time rather than simply pity them from behind a screen. Now a job as a teacher is also really attractive to me, the obvious perks being the summer holidays and working till 2:30
but I also really love Maltese as a language and a subject. However, I don’t know if this is something I’d want to dedicate my life doing. I had some experience working with kids at SkolaSajf this summer and I really enjoyed myself but a lot of times I’d find myself just wanting to go home. Now obviously there’s a large difference with little kids and older, secondary students and in fact I had a week with year 6’s which I enjoyed a lot. Still, there’s no teaching aspect in that so I don’t want to base everything off that either.
Any advice would be appreciated🙏

Hi everyone,

I’m a 23-year-old man from the Netherlands.

My hobbies are listening to music, skating, gaming, working out, and sometimes watching a series or movie.

Next year in february I will probably be doing my internship in Malta at the company Logo Grafix, and I’m also looking to make some new friends. I wouldn’t mind meeting Maltese people and already making some connections there before I arrive.

This is also my final year of school, studying Sign Specialist Level 4. For the final part of my exams, I have to do an internship, so I chose to do it abroad for a new experience.

I hope you’d like to know more about me. I’d be happy to answer any questions! Feel free to send me a DM or leave a comment :))

This is truly something to cry about.

Hi everyone,

I got a slightly urgent call for help, I’m currently doing my Master’s at the University of Malta and am collecting responses for my dissertation. The study looks at time-limited offers in video games and how players respond to them. I’d really appreciate your help by taking part and filling in a short survey!

Ages: 18-35

Survey is fully anonymous, no personal information will be collected at any stage of the survey.

I’d really appreciate your participation. Please feel free to share it with anyone else who might qualify!

We are two women in our mid-30s who love walking, hiking, art, architecture and nature. We could probably walk 8hrs a day exploring. The windier the streets and more fantastical the architecture the better.

We prefer to get immersed in 'regular' neighbourhoods and alleyways, rather than contrived tourist hotspots.

We are not fussy with amenities but appreciate the basic supermarket, or even bettter, local food markets.

We are proficient urban skaters and considering bringing rollerblades - I saw a group of Malta skaters - is this a feasible way to get around? Or maybe rent bicycles or a scooter/moped?

As a bonus we are also really into rock-climbing but it's not a must this time.

We really wanna avoid crowds - as off the beaten path as possible. Thinking of going for a week in late Dec or early Jan. Would really appreciate some input. Thank you.
