Do children need Covid tests or vaccines to enter Malta?

Will restaurants and bars be open while I’m in Malta?

Yes, from 28 June restaurants, bars, clubs and snack bars can remain open until 2am (or earlier, depending on their license). There is a limit of six people per table.

What else do I need to know?

From 28 June, sea transport will be allowed to operate at 65% capacity. Masks are mandatory in all public spaces (under 3s are exempt). From 1 July, two people may remove their masks in public if they have been fully vaccinated, but only Maltese vaccination certificates are legitimate proof for this purpose. 

 

What will I need to do when I get back?
