Anyone with the BOV app experiencing the same issue?

Fellow Maltesers who have the BOV app. I'm trying to transfer some money from one card to another and although it says that my money has been transferred, the supposed transfered money remains in my other card and everytime I try to log in it says that I should try logging in in 5 minutes. 5 minutes keep passing and everytime I do a transfer not only does the money stay but I get logged out and told to log in back in 5 minutes. Is it just my app that's bugging or is everyone else's doing the same annoyances?

Questions about languages in Malta...

  1. Which language is more used in daily life by the locals: Maltese or English?

  2. Is Maltese a minority national language (as it happens with Irish in Ireland for example, where few people speak it as a native language) or is it widely used in the country (even more than English)?

  3. Is Italian commonly used or heard in daily life in Malta (in the streets, markets, restaurants, shops, beaches...)?

  4. Is the local TV and radio in Malta mainly in Italian? Or is Maltese mainly used?

Citizenship by decent

Wondering if anyone has any insight to the appointment/process of applying for citizenship by decent (forms A or K)

I have an appointment with London high commission coming up soon and want an idea of what happens and how long the process took until people got their citizenship.

Crashed against my parked car

Today a few seconds after parking my park, someone parked behind me and left the car (they are tourists in a rented car). The partner stayed in the car while the driver went out, somehow (while on the passenger seat and no one on the wheel) they managed to drive forward and crash against mine. This all happened before my eyes and they were quite kind in giving me their details, however my car is now damaged and I don’t know how to proceed.. shall I contact my insurance? If I do so, will I lose my “no claims”?

Annoying Neighbour asking for permission to build - anyone have advice?

I currently live in the ground floor maisonette of a two unit building. My neighbour who lives above me in another maisonette wants to build up his airspace.

To do this he wants me to sign a paper to give him some concessions such as opening more windows on my back yard and connecting drainage to the existing drainage system.

He has asked me what type of compensation I'd want and has insisted that my property will remain livable during the project.

I have zero want or need for him to be living under a construction project, but I feel pressured to consider this in order to maintain a good relationship.

The law feels extremely unfair considering it is my only property, and he intends to mess it up for at least 2 years. I'm not sure whether he can proceed without my consent.

Does anyone out there have experience dealing with this issue? What should I do?

Is "The Malta Pass" legit?

Hi all,

I'm planning a trip to Malta at the moment and found "the Malta Pass" online. They seem to offer free entry into most attractions, as well as one journey on a hop-on-hop-off tour. The website, however, doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in me. I was wondering whether anybody has used them in the past and knows if they're legit?

Thanks!

Climbing

I have this job offer for two years in Malta, the only problem I have with it is that I usually do indoor bouldering and it seems like there is no gym in Malta, am I wrong? Any bouldering spot outdoor eventually?

Degrees

Hi everyone!

Was wondering if anyone knew about institutions/schools/universities that may offer part time, either physically, online, or through a foreign university.

I do not wish to go back to Uni of Malta as it was a negative experience. I had to quit degree a few months before completion.

I originally did IT but I don’t think it’s the specific route for me

I am mostly into aviation and management, and can only do part-time due to work.

Thanks in advance!

Good sea bream fish (affordable)

Hi guys, I am going to Malta next week, and I have one question. Can you recommend me one place where I could eat good Gilthead Bream (sea bream fish), but if I can somehow not pay too much, considering that I'm student (from Serbia) and I don't have a huge budget.

Tourist in malta, looking for night life things to do for the weekend

Hi guys, I'm in Malta since Monday with my gf, a very lovely country, visited a lot. We'd like to enjoy a bit of nightlife for the weekend before going leaving on Sunday, but it's quite hard to find events or party places except st Julian/Paceville, any events happening or nice recommendations to go?

Campus hub and toilets

Question for students / those who frequent Campus hub - are all restaurants with a toilet? Was in a particular one, and was told that the nearest toilet available was on Campus?

And other restaurants, in other places, get shit and fines if toilets are not as per mepa rules? let alone no permit if there are no toilets...

Visiting Malta next week. What weather should I expect? Are there nice trails to walk from blue grotto to Dingli cliffs? Do you think I could go in the water with a wetsuit this time of the year?

I will arrive on Tuesday and leaving on Sunday. I stay in St Paul but I plan to go around the island and dedicate one day to Gozo and Comino.

Trying to have an idea of what kind of clothes I should bring.

Thank you!

Crypto, EFT exchange?

I found an old post here on this sub about some crypto and even EFT,etc. exchange platforms. It was quiet old..any change in this regard? What are current best platforms, and reliable ones at that?

As we speak with some friends and they know where I am based, Coinbase. What about Interactive Brokers?

Maltese Expats - are you still as enraged by Maltese corruption news after moving?

I moved abroad to NL almost 3 months ago. I moved because I had had enough of the direct effect the corruption in Malta was having on my quality of life (mainly traffic, construction and environment). Being aware that every country has it's own issues, I made an approximately 1-year plan prior to moving to give myself time to research and weigh out the pros and cons. Whilst I'm probably still a bit 'honeymooney' with my new home, I have clearly felt the improved quality of life - health and wealth wise.

But I open Maltese news everyday - and am still enraged (pretty much daily) with the constant bullshit scandals (most recently about Clayton Bartolo's partner and the spineless acceptance of his 'apology') , as much as I would be as if I was still living in Malta. Naturally it makes sense as Malta is my home country and I have friends and family there.

My question to fellow expats is - do you bother with following this news after moving, or do just not bother anymore to avoid feeling this way? And to Maltese still living in Malta, how do you deal with this crap?
