Opening an overdraft with HSBC by Croato
Hi, I've been living in Malta for one year now, good salary, good employer, permanent contract. I just came back from HSBC where I asked for an overdraft on my current account and was rebuffed with the explanation that as a foreign national I need ...

I worked in a bank. They are not forced to do it this way, it is a decision. I'm pretty sure it's different with other banks on the island but I don't know for certain, which is why I am asking for other experiences. Read More

online shopping by Jason Pelham
Does anyone know where can i get good quality clothes online for me and my wife and kids? The shops here seem very expensive compared to the U.K.

Have all of these shops been verified to actually ship to Malta? Great list, I just think that should be made more clear. Read More

Import tax on white goods and furniture by Rocking Ken
Hi All, Would we be subjected to import tax on our goods that we are brining with us from the UK. My wife has 3 or 4 rather expensive sewing machines, I have all my diving gear and tools and then there is all the white goods we are brining as well ...
