Hi. The website at the moment gives details of requirements and also mentions support to move to Malta and become a bus driver. Link here:



Don't have any practical experience of it though. Good luck!

Hi there, thanks for the information. That is encouraging. The only problem seems that I have to be in living in Malta for six months before I can be trained. Have I got that correct or would they give me training if I came over?

Please see below

*In order to obtain a D licence one needs to be a resident in Malta for 6 months

The article clearly states that.

See, I don't know how to read this advert. It says they will support people to move here - but does that mean only people who already have a D licence?

Personally I don't think it's very clear. Also, that statement could mean you won't be given the licence until you've been resident 6mth, but could you start the training before?   

There's an email address for the HR director - maybe you could try contacting them for more specific advice?

Although, my (limited) experience with dealing with Maltese businesses so far is that they don't like responding to emails, phone calls work much better.

If you get a response please update the post to share what you learn.

Thanks

in general - not just D - you cant get a new licence in malta unless you've been here 6 months.  But they do seem to speifically have a support process in place for foreigners to move here so they have a plan, just call them.

Thanks for that. I will forward any information I receive.

As I know from a friend of mine from Serbia, he applied at PTM with only possessing the B license. He got the bus driver training, with some extra practice hours and self study of theory he made his D license at PTM ... and is now, after a few months, he's official bus driver at PTM.
Salary is not that good considering the working hours and shifts, but for him it's better option than working in customer care 

Thanks for that. Its encouraging to know. When I have been in Malta, the amount of bus drivers that I have spoken to have told me how desperate they are for drivers.
