Why choose this island?
The thriving economy, combined with a relaxed lifestyle and great climate, are some of the key reasons people decide to move to Malta. It’s not just a popular destination for young people (whether for a gap year or a few years of work), but we’re also seeing more and more people making the move there permanently. What’s going to be your reason? We’ve put together the following list of reasons:
6 reasons to move to Malta
- More than 300 days of sunshine per year!
- A thriving economy, providing high employment rates. This is great for expats too!
- English is the main language spoken. This makes integration much easier compared to places like Crete or Cyprus.
- Affordable healthcare. Malta offers a free public healthcare system. If you’re an expat, you can become a member through your residency permit and social security number. Private healthcare is also much cheaper, saving you time on waiting lists.
- Very low crime rates.
- Income tax and social security contributions are lower than in the Netherlands or Belgium.

How to emigrate without stress?
Moving to an island presents unique challenges compared to a regular domestic move, and Malta is no exception. Logistically, it’s always a bit more complicated when compared to mainland relocations.
In addition, there’s a lot of preparation and bureaucracy involved, which can cause stress for many people. Especially when time pressure arises while waiting for approvals, all of which you’re managing from your home country. And we haven’t even touched on the emotional stress yet.
In short, we want nothing more than for you to have a smooth relocation to Malta, so we’re happy to share our experiences with you. From temporary storage of furniture to handling all the paperwork, we’re here for you. From start to finish, door to door.
