Have you already secured a job there? That'll be the most important thing to get first and foremost, but I guess you already got that! lol
There is a special forum dealing with expats http://www.expatfocus.com/ -need to sign up before you can start asking questions.
This is what they're saying about Malta : It is extremely difficult for nationals of non-EU countries to obtain permits to work in Malta. However, if an expatriate has at least a 40% investment in a Malta-based company, they will be able to obtain a work permit for himself and one other expatriate worker.
VISAs? Long-term visas are issued to visitors who wish to extend their stay beyond three months, and for business travelers. These are usually issued for a maximum of 12 months but are renewable.
If you enter Malta as a visitor and subsequently wish to settle in the country on a temporary basis, you must apply for a Temporary Resident Permit from the Department of Citizenship and Expatriate Affairs, part of the Ministry of Justice and Home Affairs. Many expatriates live in Malta on temporary residence permits, which they renew annually. To qualify for a Temporary Resident Permit, you have to be able to provide evidence of an annual income of at least LM6,000 ($15,360) and an additional income of LM1,000 ($2,560) per dependent.
Nationals of any country can apply for permanent residence in Malta, if they can provide evidence of an annual income at least equivalent to LM10,000 or capital to the value of at least LM150,000, and the ability to remit annually to Malta at least LM6,000, plus an additional LM1,000 per dependent. Within one year of taking up residence in Malta, applicants are required to provide evidence that they have purchased property in Malta which is valued at LM50,000 or more (LM30,000 if the property is an apartment) or that they are renting property for at least LM1,800 annually.
After you've settled there, throw a party and don't forget to invite me!!!!
