الحياة في مالطا: جزيرة متوسطية تتحدث الإنجليزية

At a glance

Why Malta?

Malta is the only Mediterranean EU country where English is an official language. Its climate and pace of life will feel familiar to those coming from Antalya; it is popular with those who want to learn English in a real-world setting and those who want to work in tourism, hospitality, finance and digital gaming.

Life and costs

As the island is small, distances are short; Sliema, St. Julian's and Gżira are the areas where language schools and workplaces are concentrated. Rent is the island's biggest expense: prices are high in central areas, while the south of the island and Gozo are more affordable. Public transport is by bus; ferries connect to Gozo and Sicily.

• Language: Daily life and work can be conducted entirely in English.
• Season: In the summer months, short-term accommodation becomes more expensive due to the influx of tourists; plan long-term rentals early.

Work

Non-EU citizens work under a single permit issued upon the employer's application, covering both work and residence; fast-track schemes are available for skilled workers. Details: Malta work visa.

Education

Malta is particularly known for its English language schools: options ranging from short courses to long-term academic English can be planned together with accommodation. Schools and programmes: Studying in Malta, Language courses in Malta.
