Malta to Welcome Back Vaccinated British Travellers
04 April 2021
As of 1 June 2020, Malta will welcome passengers from the UK who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to enter the country.
British travellers who can show proof of full vaccination received at least ten days before arriving in the country will no longer have to provide a negative PCR test certificate 72 hours prior to, or on arrival in Malta. Passengers will need to show their vaccination card when boarding to be accepted to travel. If for any reason a vaccination card cannot be shown, a negative PCR test must be presented.
Malta is second to the UK in terms of European countries vaccinating the greatest proportion of its population, with 40% of the adult population having received its first dose, making the destination a safe choice for future travel.
