Opening a bank account from the UK - fail story by defectus
I've read here about people opening their bank accounts from abroad using the HSBC overseas account opening service. Trying to get ahead of the game I used that service too - and failed. We relocated a week ago and I started the account opening ...

Just an update on how far I've got with HSBC. I visited the Sliema HSBC branch on Tuesday last week and after waiting for almost an hour (in spite of having an appointment) I spent another hour going through the application process. I was asked ... Read More

Police conduct certificate from uk by 6327farag
Has anyone been asked for a police conduct certificate from the UK prior to working? If so how do you go about obtaining one from Malta? the only certificate I am aware of is for use when applying to emigrate.

I just got one for myself (will be working for Besedo, their standard procedure). All you have to do is to fill the form as per redmik's post, send it along with your signed photo, utility bill, copy of passport (not sure what else) and you'll get ... Read More


Employment Registration Number by defectus
Hi all, Quick question. The e-residency application form for employed EU citizens (form a_A4) requires providing of something called "Employment Registration No". Anyone knows where I can get this number from? Cheers!

Great, very thorough answer! As I said I was hoping to apply for my e-residency card prior to joining my new employer but in light of this I suspect it won't be possible (not a big problem though!) Большое ... Read More

All right, so I put it on my to do list. I'm visiting my employers offices a week before I officially join them so I use that opportunity to ask about that number. Out of curiosity, is this number in any way related to the national insurance number? Read More

Advantages of Residential ID card by Pernille95
Hi! Can anyone tell me about "all the doors that open" when I get my ID card, so I'm sure I don't miss any of the advantages? PAA

Would it help me (or is it a prerequisite) to get my children in a state school? I.e. can my children enrol in a state school if I'm employed but so far with no e-residency card? Read More
