Hello all, I want to leave England and move to Malta I am registered disabled ( partially sighted) but i can work, although restricted. I have asked their government for help but they have not replied to my emails. I honestly have no idea how to start this moving.

Hi Chris, the easiest way is to move to Malta is for three months as a tourist and apply for jobs to secure eventual residency, if you have 14k for you or 23k for a couple savings in the bank you can apply as a self sufficent resident without employment as long as you secure an address, If you have applied for a government job they are slow to reply.

if you are on benefits in the UK, there is a social security agreement with Malta

see the posts and links in the following thread - specific post 2, 7 & 10

It will give you Malta contacts also

Thanks guys, sadly I don't have a pile of cash.... I may need help when I first get there, that's the big problem.

Hello and a big welcome to BE.

Excellent information can be found in the BE Wiki, not forgetting the Living and Moving Abroad forum that will help you, another set of great help is the permanent threads at the TOP of each forum, they are very pertinent to that particular forum and makes sensible reading.

Moderators deal with any problems that arise such as inappropriate posts, spammers etc, you will find their names at the bottom right hand side of each forum's index in bold font.

Please contact me if I can give you any further help.

Thanks everyone.... Who is Gozit? I am just trying to sort things out from this side, the move will probably happen next January but I'm going back before then at least twice. I have a mobile on their melita network that seems much cheaper than any UK provider even in England which proves how greedy UK is, anyway, I can't wait to start my new life in paradise.

Sorry I can't help in any way constructive , but having been to Malta I can understand your desire to live there , I've travelled a bit and found the people there to be very warm and straightforward , but then again it's a bit like the UK only better weather and they drive on the correct side!
