Arriving in Malta is harder
than it should be
International students piece together their settling-in from a mix of unreliable sources. The problem is not a lack of information — it is the absence of structure, trust, and clear next steps.

“40% of students would definitely use a structured relocation service. 60% said maybe. No one said no.”
One app. Every step.
Register, tell us your nationality and arrival date, and get a prioritised checklist built around your situation. Each step explains what it is, why it matters, and links you to a verified source to complete it.
TRP & eResidence
You have 90 days from arrival to register with Identità Malta. The app tells you exactly which documents to bring, how to book your appointment, and what to expect on the day.
Health Screening & Insurance
Both are required for your TRP application. The app connects you with verified clinics and insurance partners — no guessing which ones are approved.
SIM Card & Internet
A local SIM gives you WhatsApp, maps, and a Maltese number from day one. The app explains your options and what to watch out for.
Banking, Transport & Daily Life
Which banks accept international students, how to get a Tallinja bus card, emergency contacts, pharmacies, supermarkets — everything else you need.
Built on real research
New in Malta was designed around primary research with international students at Ascencia Business School Malta — not assumptions.

Built for Malta students, by a Malta student
The guide she needed when she arrived
Nawirin (Nawi) arrived in Malta from Thailand to study at Ascencia Business School. She spent her first weeks navigating TRP, health screening, insurance, and an apartment search — mostly alone, mostly through Google and Facebook groups.
She interviewed ten fellow students and found the same story: the problem is not a lack of information, it is the absence of structure and trust. That is what New in Malta fixes.
