[@paulinefarrugia6162]

I love how respectful you are to Malta and the Maltese people. You always have options and if a person is living in a country that they don’t like, all they have to do is leave the place. I was born in Malta but have been living in Australia for 59 years. Have been back 4 times and still enjoy visiting even though Malta has changed a lot since I left there at the age of 11. Have just discovered your channel and am enjoying the different suburbs you are taking us to, so thank you very much

[@IvanaDragon]

I'm last 8 years in Malta. We came here to live and work peacefuly and to start a family in a safe place. First year we lived in Bugibba, most of Balkan pepole live there and lot of our friends still live there, but it was to noise and overcrowded, not for us. Then we moved to Mosta. Everything you need you can find in there. After my son was born we had a problem with the nursery, there was no space. We moved to Attard and fell in love with area, for family it's perfect.... Anyhow. Everybody should get a dehumidifier, it will be faster to heat in winter and no mold 😉. I don't think about politics in Malta, I just enjoy life that my husband and I have built here.

You talk such sense Alex. How respectful you are towards your adoptive country. It's true everything you say. As a tourist to Malta I always try to adapt to the island whenever I am there. Keep making the videos x

[@patrichue0810]

I've been living in Malta for over 8 years now and like any other country, it's far from perfect. BUT for me the positives clearly outweigh the negatives: anyone that is really motivated and has good common sense can grow a career here and climb the ladder relatively fast, it's very international and therefore easy to meet people and make friends, much much harder in other countries, being able to speak English helps massively with that obviously. Malta is safe and almost everything relevant is walkable if you live in a central location. You have the sea and the sun around you, just the blue sky adds so much quality to your life (coming originally from Germany). There are plenty of negatives too but as said before, the positives beat them. Is Malta for everyone? Certainly not. But I think we the right attitude and an open mind, you can adjust to the way of living here. Very good video Alex, I like that you focus on the positives without leaving out the negatives.

Maltese native living in Éire for 12 years. Thank you for your channel Alex, you are insightful, diplomatic and I love that you have a channel dedicated to my beautiful birth country 😊 As you said, I don't think there is a single country that is perfect and has no issues.. Some have better living conditions than others.. of course this also depends on the needs of the individuals. Knowledge of the Maltese language is not a prerequisite, true. This has its upsides & downsides.. However our language is difficult to learn as its unique. I have looked at language learning apps and most do not offer Maltese.. maybe it would be great for people to start vocalising this issue on language learning apps, so those who want to move or travel to the island can learn some phrases? Keep up the great content

Hi Alex, its very true about the construction. Everyone that I know here in Toronto that go to Malta every year, see the changes thats been happening since Malta entered the EU. Yes, much of the progress has been very good but there’s always negative things too. Though new construction was a must, the gov’t and developers cannot destroy the historical landscape that Malta is known for. Being one of the smallest countries in the world, it has so much to offer. I just recently lost my aunt who was 90 years old. My uncle who is 96 years old lives in a senior’s home there and could tell me how much things have changed since WWII. You want to get interesting information about how Malta has changed since the time when Malta was a quieter island than today, talk to the older generations who have lived there all their lives. You’d be amazed at what you’ll learn…

As a Maltese who lived abroad in New York, a very liberal city, I was reminded on a daily basis by the locals that I was not one of them. Some find you exotic, others look down on you and in other rare occasions I've received really offensive remarks for no reason at all. Also some of my friends have lived in rural parts of the UK and they were not treated that well especially when going to certain pubs, so it's not only in Malta but you find these things happening in other developed countries as well.

Hi Alex im Maltese and enjoy seeing and hearing yout various point of views as regards to my county. Its true what you said that its not required to learn Maltese to work in Malta and its a comfort fir a lot of foreigners, its creating a lot of anxiety to the elderly or people who are Maltese speaking only. Also there are people that for one reason or other can't learn English, ez for medical or learning difficulties. Im speaking from experience as my son is in this category and its humiliating for him that he can't go to do an errand on his own. Even old people are afraid to take the public transport because of this. I have nothing against foreigners as long as they respect our traditions and customs. If one day i move to another country i would follow their customs as i am a guest. Sorry if i wrote this long but i wanted to point out some of the problems individuals face.

Overall, we love the island and plan to make it a long term stay.

[@godhams]

Funnily enough Malta doesn't feel as small as it is when there...im in the UK at the moment & am half Maltese so have spent half my life over there & half over here. Going ANYWHERE in a car takes forever over here & I'm like "oh my god! Are we nearly there yet??" Small town living over here has the same rules as over there. My second husband is British & while in Malta has occasionally a few complaints but he has come across some nonsense here too! Here is a good example: my husband was waiting for his residencey & ID card to come through...no ID number no vaccine get lost!! Meanwhile he was very vulnerable to getting the virus. Over here trying to get the booster was also a hassle..had ur vaccine's aboard?? U have to register with the NHS but "we need to TRAIN up some more people to write down ur details & in the mean time the ones we have trained up are fully booked...sorry don't know when u will be able to get ur booster...get lost!" So u see that in every country there are problems..& sometimes they are different & sometimes they are very similar! (& the money laundering checks are quite insane here too!!) I like the fact that in Malta I can feel quite safe walking through a group of lower class boys/men But here in the UK I would cross the street to avoid them!

I agree with almost all comments. A ridiculous place. Noisy, dusty, dirty, cockroaches everywhere you go. I was so tired of looking under my feet every 30 seconds because there could be anything like potholes, bin bags or a dead cat. The roads are neither made for cars nor humans. If you ride a bike (doesn’t matter which one) then you are very brave. Construction with all those cranes were dodgy as hell. I have never been so scared just to be outdoors. In remote areas it’s better, but it might be boring there. Of course some places were nice like, but most of the island looks like a third world country, but locals were blaming foreigners for that rather then their greed which made Malta what it is today. The only thing I am missing is the language as I could freely communicate with anyone as most people could speak English there. Also the rent prices were not that bad in comparison to where I am now, but luckily my company provided me with accommodation. There are too many cons to even mention and many times it’s just lacking basic common sense. Unfortunately, conns outweighed pros to me a bit. There are so many places on this planet that are better than Malta. I would recommend to go there as a tourist, but not to live there

However, I realised that living in St Julian's without a car, with expensive rents, constructions going on, noise, pollutions and so on... + low wages it not for me. I also have to add that being drunk one nigh out of two (or maybe even more), catching nice girls and so on might not be for a life but I really appreciated the time I spent there and I would be glad to come back one day :-).

I am a native Maltese and I have been here for the past 42 years. Before that in Lived in London England, did my Schooling in London, of which I was immigrated along with my parents. I have very fond memories of my earlier years, there in London UK, but when I came to Malta in late 1979, it was very slow paced and less built up. Since Joining the European Union in 2004, some things have changed for the good, however since we had a population explosion, mainly by non members of the EU, it has been changed drastically. Remember 25% of Malta population is partly EU with a influx of north African and illegal immigrants, that come over by means of boats and some by air. So please tell the whole story, as it truly is. Malta is the 10 smallest nation, how many more people can we ever fit in such a small area = 316 Square Kilometres, 122 Square Miles. Its going to happen just like many from, its either we have to immigrate or those that come for overseas, to where they come from.

It is insane that locals go to the grocery store and are forced to speak in English because the customer assistant is Maltese illiterate.

In principle I'd say, when the official language ALSO is English I don't see it as disrespectful that someone who speaks English, but no Maltese, move to Malta. If the job description demands some other language or languages, which many jobs do, I don't see the problem either. In Spain it is also generally sufficient that you can speak Spanish - there would be only few jobs where you were required to speak one of the regional languages. But would anybody give you a job in a shop if you speak no Maltese? I doubt it. (Jiena ma noqgħodx fil-Malta imma nitkellem malti bażiku.)

[@sjoerdsytacc448]

Could I ask something? I got an job offer in the online live game industrie on malta and getting gross 2.000,- / 2.500,-. Will this give me an decent appartement and a comfortabel way of living?

[@AlexinMalta]

Hey. Yes, that gross will give you between 1500 - / 2000 euros net a month. It would definitely give you a comfortable life and let me break it down easy for you: get yourself apartment up to €600/700 a month, get an unlimited plan from Epic (ex Vodafone) around €40. Groceries around €400, the rest up to you how you gonna spend 😇

I have visited Malta and I can assure you that Malta is not for younger people. Malta is for retired people. The Maltese beaches is very rocky. It is perfect for retired people.

[@AlexinMalta]

[@markcuthbert1117]

Malta has many sandy beaches, you should have travelled more when you were there.

[@stephf4167]

Go to Paceville at night and you will see if Malta is not for younger people.

Here from 2014…The only thing that I don’t like of this island is the garbage on the streets, also at 1 pm black bags between the tourists…disgusting. By the way I love this island, if I want relax I go to Zurrieq, if I want energy I go to Sliema, if I want see beautiful things I go to North, the south, well, they have to work to improve the landscape 😅

It is true, Malta is a island with positive and negative things, it is normal, I had been studing english and worked too. The maltese people is good. I met people from different nationalities.

I'm Maltese and have lived here for 30 years. I have to agree with the people who say that Malta has become (or is quickly turning into) a concrete jungle. I think we used to be a lot better just a few years ago, less ugly building, noise, hectic lifestyle. I'm happy that you like Malta Alex and I do agree with your point that there are a lot of good things left however I think we are moving is a bad direction and this is because of us the maltese and not you guys (expats). Malta has great potential but it sold it's soul to make some quick money, at least that is how it feels many times.

[@sm3675]

Yes! And many mature trees are being cut down!!!

[@thswan]

nice video and channel! It's true that when you're a guest in a new country, you need to adapt and respect local values. It's also true that when you're a small country, it's more difficult and frustrating to defend your identity from the "invaders". However, let's be honest: what would Malta be without the skills of expats and foreign capitals (or corporate tax evasion if you prefer)? A pre-industrial economy with cheap tourism! Same regarding the language: if English wasn't an official language and people had to learn Maltese, who would come to the island? Regarding the prices of real estate, they are completely random: there's no idea of avg price per square meter in a given area, it's clearly not based on the supply and demand, cause they keep building without selling and they do no reflect the quality of the buildings which is poor. Maltese are building the roads with EU tax payers' money, still expats are discriminated in many ways (for example, to start a mortgage in most banks, an expat will have to pay 30% deposit vs 10% if they're maltese). Every Maltese saying "go back to your country" should be aware of these things.

[@Hazara26]

Every Maltese comment I read here say I moved from Malta to US, Canada, Australia and Europe. So why they aren't coming back if the country is so good?

[@nabinpaudel2020]

Hi Alex ,I have 1 question regarding incorrect work permit . How long it will take to get retification work permit after resubmission? Looking to hear from you thanks

[@irishboyrants8086]

The biggest pollutants in Malta are natural gas, petroleum fuel, diesel fuel, and plastic. Obviously petroleum fuel and diesel fuel are used for powering cars, whereas natural gas is used for powering homes and other buildings. Natural gas and diesel fuel are low CO2 emitting fossil fuels, and Malta makes up less than 0.1% of the Carbon emissions in the EU. The fact is Malta is not big enough to for its pollution to be a threat to life, in fact the life expectancy is 82.5 years, and compared to prehistory, Malta’s life is flourishing.

[@tumwebazemauricia9030]

My dear I need your help but don't know where to start from

[@opazomario]

Very good video Alex 😘

[@vladanmihailovic4563]

Not learning Maltese is an advantage not only for the foreigners, but also for the locals as well. Because if is required to learn Maltese it would be much more difficult to start living in Malta and actually very little foreigners would even consider to come and look for a job here. So for the economy it would be really bad and without foreign work force this island would be very different.

[@mohitbamanpalli7645]

My dear Alex 😇 I believe the Place which gives you bread and butter with Bed should always be respected🙏 People need to know that we are there to Earn and Learn and not to Host a Picnic 🤷 . Yes ,I know the accommodation is expensive but we have alot other good things to explore with Sea 🌊 . I worked in Maldives ,Mauritius, Doha and Bangkok but still I feel Malta is way better because it gives you a Better Pay and it helps to make a better Natural home in our home country 😀 . I love Malta 🇲🇹 and Macedonia 🇲🇰 Tadaaaaaa♥️ Hugs 🤗 .

Because I have an English surname, I often get told by Maltese people to go back to my own country when I post a negative but true comment about Malta. But the thing is this, I am half Maltese and I was born here 😅😅😅

[@stephf4167]

Just tell them to go fuck themselves then.

[@jesmmifs]

Unfortunately many Maltese people, particularly those who side with the nationalist political party, hate Malta because the country is not being run by their favorite administration. I'm Maltese and I've been to many other countries, and each one had its negatives. If that's all you focus on, than that's all you will see.

I wont go i to the political side but i can say i agree with the last sentence you wrote, thank you

I moved to Gozo. The only real part of Malta that is left. I found Malta depressing. English is an official language in Malta, equal to Maltese

Alex love all your videos. Keep up the good work . I was born in Malta and at 21 yrs.old I emigrated to Canada . All my siblings are there . I wish I can go to Malta more often but it cost alot of money for the tickets. Last time I was there about 9 yrs.age and for a family of 4 it was $1500.00 cad plus $79.00. Plus another €1200.00 for the appartment that we rented for 3 weeks I can't imagine how much it is now . I love to retire there. Greetings from Canada❤🇲🇹🇨🇦✌

$79.00 for the insurance of each ticket. Forget to mention
