If you already live here, most of this site is not aimed at you. This page is.
It collects the things that come up when Malta is not a holiday but an ordinary day. Which pharmacy is open tonight, when the bulky waste is collected, and why the whole village is closed.
The things you need
The pharmacy roster
Some pharmacies stay open on Sundays and public holidays, on a schedule that rotates. It changes weekly. Ours shows which are open today.
The emergency number is 112 and it works from any phone, free of charge.
Pharmacies on Sundays and holidays
What is closed and why
Every village keeps its festa (a village feast), and when yours does, the roads close and the fireworks run late for several days.
Public holidays drop the buses to a Sunday timetable and close the banks and most shops.
Public holidays
Bills, renewals and paperwork
ARMS bills, permit renewals and the eResidence expiry all creep up. None of them send a helpful reminder.
Diarise the expiry dates the day the documents arrive, because nothing here will chase you.

You will spot things before we do
People who live somewhere notice when a fee changes or a bus stop moves long before a website does. If you find something out of date here, telling us is the fastest way to get it fixed for everyone else.
