Your Expat Community in Malta

What is Living in Malta Like for Expats?

Set in the heart of the Mediterranean, Malta has a long history and culture that is very unique and interesting. Whether you choose to live in the historic Harbor area, part of the World Heritage Site of Valletta, or the peaceful beach-side community of St. Paul's Bay, the island offers beautiful nature, ancient history, and plenty to do. With a typical Mediterranean climate, Malta has 3,000 hours of sunshine a year, and the sun can shine for up to 12 hours a day! Access to the beautiful coastline and beaches on the islands is easy from most locations, and the beach lifestyle is often a big draw for expats planning a life in Malta. With its surrounding sea, Malta is also a popular place for snorkeling and scuba diving. Many working expats move to Malta for the main industries on foreign trade, manufacturing, and tourism. Others choose to retire in Malta, as specific job roles away from tourism and trade are rare to find and the lifestyle is perfect for retirees. The economy is growing, however, and opportunities are increasing for foreign workers on the islands. Malta is also very safe, which is another appeal for expats, with political stability, a low crime-rate, and a democratic government. It has also recently introduced free child care.
