Comments on: Passports be damned. Looks like Malta under Labour has a thriving business in Schengen visas for Chinese.

In reply to Gahan. 50 bottles = 50 x 1000 ltr = € 50,000.00 Nice way to go about it.

Now I start to understand what Ms Mizzi is doing to earn all that money – finding a market for visas.

In reply to canon. We're selling both. And probably also testing how long it will take for the EU to get fed up with us and apply the new procedure for suspending the rights of a Member State under the Lisbon Treaty.

In reply to Watcher of lies. Oh dear. Please don't suggest that Mrs Konrad Mizzi (or is she now Sai Laing?) is taking sweeteners for visas, Chinese style. But then she does have to buy her own pillows.

In reply to canon. Depends on the whim of the one whose salary is now €13,002.40 per month.

I’ve been through this process a couple of times from the Philippines. It’s 60 euros per person and a mountain of paperwork.

When you phone the embassy a Chinese girl who doesn’t speak English picks up and will only pass you to someone Maltese if threatened.

This is how it was about 5 years ago, though really I don’t think it’s changed so much.
