Hi 👋 You found me 😁I travel the EU as an African Expat and share my experiences here. Welcome aboard ☺️
Being a resident in the Schengen region gives me access to travel and experience the 27 member countries in the travel area and my life has been “fuller” for it.
I created this channel to share my thoughts and experiences, so you can have an idea of what living and traveling within the EU really is, especially for black expats.
So here are some topics I intend to cover;
EU travel guide/tips Food/Living conditions Remote vs Hybrid working Travel & European Architecture History & Religion Expat integration into communities
So whether you’re of African decent, or non-African interested in learning how I see the world, or a fellow expat living far from home, you’re welcome to subscribe, stick around, leave comments (so we can learn a thing or two from one another), and share any content that resonates with you.
@@serginiodest3251 Hello to find out about schools in Malta, kindly send a DM to @woweffectmalta on Instagram or email woweffectmalta@gmail.com. Thank you 😊
@@UgwuClement-bs7lp Hi there, thank you for watching. I do not think there is any such thing as a “licensed immigration consultant” in Malta. You will ideally be in contact with Identity Malta or Residency Malta (depending on your visa), or being represented by a legal representative. If you are looking to hire the services of a legal representative here in Malta who specializes in immigration, then I suggest you watch the video I linked in the description, and you can reach out to contact the firm as they are the only ones I have met. Thank you.
I am new subscriber , want it to ask , i have master degree in medical Laboratories Does malta have good job opportunities in medical field ? Thank you ❤
Hi oyi's , i am medical lab technician from Libya ( African country ) looking for job in Malta? What are the opportunities of work in medical field look like in malta ?
@@miladahmed7969 Hi there, I think the medical field has opportunities all over the world, not just Malta. If you do a quick job search, you’d most likely find something.
in terms of jobs, I hold a degree and Masters in Business Administration from Sweden and more than a decade work experience in Business Development, can I secure a job?
Hi there, thank you for watching. Concerning jobs, it’s best to check LinkedIn and other job boards for available positions. Ideally, if you get a job from abroad, your employer can support your visa application and relocation.
The schools in Malta are majorly scam! They'll give you fake papers to go for Visa Interview! A Case study of Global College Malta where student was only informed about her interview less than 10 minutes to the Interview And at about 7 am in the morning!
Hi there, I’m not sure about the schedule for visa interviews. However I strongly suggest you do your due diligence before applying to any schools as there are a lot of scams out there. You can also employ the services of an approved agent here in Malta to set up these processes to make them seamless. If you need one, let me know and I’d happily recommend.
@@OyisCorner thank you but is this applicable to students under 20hours per week job and the job available? From the amount you stated my calculations (I might be wrong) says that it's €10.6 per hour.
@@mbaebiejoseph6631 That is for full time employment, part time would be half of that I assume. Also, that is the minimum wage, it doesn’t necessarily mean that all available jobs pay at that rate.
Slow down... you are speaking very fast. We are not so proficient in English always that we understand everything straight away. We need time to digest info.
Hello thank you for subscribing. Students are generally allowed to work 20 hours a week. I know a lot of students who have been able to make it work when it comes living expenses. It will require to make some adjustments for instance apartment sharing as opposed to renting alone, etc.
Yes the locals are very friendly in my experience 😊 and thoughtful too, I had a neighbor that offered to drive me to the hospital when my toddler had a fever.
Thank you for watching. I haven’t personally experienced any form of discrimination as a black person living in Malta. However, I cannot speak for how persons of color are treated in workplaces, as I am a digital nomad working fully remote. In general I think the locals here are very friendly, respectful, and welcoming.
Thanks for the info! I’m in the process of getting ready to move to Malta so this is a really helpful perspective. Another plus that I never even considered before I visited… no hayfever! I love the sun and warm weather but during the three short months of “summer” here in Scotland I have a constant lowkey headache and sinus pain, even with medication. The weeks I spent in Malta- that is the best I’ve felt in many many years as I had no winter-blues OR allergy symptoms. Coming back to Scotland afterwards the abundant greenery spilling out of every corner feels excessive honestly 😂 Don’t get me wrong it is beautiful here and somebody with no pollen allergy can fully appreciate it but for me, rocky and dusty is the ideal!
Thank you so much for watching, I’m glad my perspective was helpful. The weather in Malta is also my favorite reason for being here. I’m happy to read that you felt better when you visited, it’s an amazing place honestly. I wish you the best in your move and hope you have an awesome time here.
Unfortunately international students cannot bring dependents to Malta. However, you can apply for family reunification when you graduate and get a job. Only working professionals who meet the requirements can bring their families.
@@OyisCorner The pollution is now so bad that cancer and blood clots are on the rise - a doctor informed a friend of mine who's small child has 17 percent more arsenic in his system than normal, from the environment. The traffic is hideous and the roads terrible, especially on Gozo. The petrol fumes are dangerous as the sandstone dust that we inhale daily. New builds are terrible - concrete blocks and built so badly that in any other country they would fail regulations - many do not even use enough mortar between bricks and would topple if there were an earth tremor, in fact there have been a few 'accidents' already (buildings falling during construction). That's enough to go on... !
@@AnnabelleJARankin Wow, that’s a lot. I don’t know what Malta was like a few years ago, but from what I’ve heard things have deteriorated. However, there’s hardly any place in the world that things are getting better, these seem like new world problems and every country is taking a slice of. I believe with good governance, all these issues can be addressed and managed properly.
It is true that the cost of accommodation has gone up in the last 1-2 years, however this hasn’t happened in Malta alone. Also, you can still find affordable accommodation especially if you’re open to sharing. And I do not think Malta is cold, especially when compared to other European countries. Thank you for watching 😊
Hi there, generally students are permitted to work 20 hours per week. I am not sure if this rule differs depending on the course of study. You may need to check in with the school to confirm. Thank you for watching 😊
Malta is overrated, overcrowded, a complete traffic chaos. Though it really is a wonderful small island, people 2.500 B.C. seemed to be more modern, than the people living here today. Folks, get your traffic chaos solved. E.g. Barcelona doesn’t have this traffic chaos. Sorry for saying this: Malta no thank you!!!
Thank you for watching 😊 There are pros and cons to living anywhere. However, I do not think that Malta is overrated, it all depends on what’s important to you as an individual. Even though some parts of Malta are overcrowded, there are still quaint and quiet neighborhoods with less inhabitants, even Gozo is a delight if you want to be away from the crowd and traffic.
