Tourists who arrive in Malta without the necessary coronavirus documentation will be placed at the Marina Hotel Corinthia Beach Resort in St George’s Bay after the authorities approved it as a quarantine hotel.
As the tourism season opens, a new law requires travellers to present a negative PCR test result or a vaccine certification before departing.
If, for some reason, travellers arrive in Malta without the required documents, they must pay €120 for a PCR test and €100 for every night spent in accommodation approved by the Superintendent of Public Health.
The accommodation fee does not include food, drinks or any other services.
Since the EU has a list of approved vaccines, can tourists who are vaccinated with non-EU approved vaccines still have their vaccination certificate considered
Travellers to Malta must present a vaccination certificate or negative PCR test results at their departure point from Tuesday, according to a legal notice.
Passengers are requested to provide a valid vaccination certificate showing they have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or present a negative Polymerase Chain Reaction test performed not longer than 72 hours before that person’s arrival in Malta.
Should they still be allowed to board, passengers will have to foot the cost of a PCR test in Malta, as well as accommodation expenses to cover quarantine.
The new rules are applicable to everyone, except for children under the age of five.
