tomcatty: I suppose you would be a immigrant as you are a Spanish national, and would be subject to the immigration,laws but would be welcome as a tourist, but bring your money

Bread? Maltese say their bread is best. Whose to know?

I like croissants, but they're french, so they don't count.

Selenite: Between an expat and an immigrant?
Do you mean 'expat' and 'emigrant' ?

They are both leaving a place while an immigrant is arriving in a place conversing

Expat to me means a person who has sufficient wealth to reside in a country of choice, while possibly retaining citizenship of the country they have departed from therefore having the ability to travel back and forth.

While an emigrant departs for a country intending to take up permanent residence.
