Malta to welcome vaccinated Brits from June (provided we can travel by then)

Malta has announced that British holidaymakers fully vaccinated against Covid-19 will be welcome from 1 June.

Malta is second only to the UK in terms of European countries which have vaccinated the largest proportion of their population.

Travellers who can show proof of full vaccination (both jabs) received at least ten days before arriving in the country will no longer have to provide a negative PCR test certificate on arrival.

Malta Tourism Authority UK and Ireland director Tolene Van Der Merwe said: “Malta is a very popular destination for British holidaymakers and is a key contributor to Malta’s economy, so we are excited to welcome back fully vaccinated travellers from the United Kingdom from 1 June 2021.

“The people of Malta are looking forward to tourists returning who have loved our sunshine, culture, food and warm spirit year in year out.

“Malta has implemented its ‘Sunny and Safe’ Covid protocols, so visitors can be reassured that all restaurants, accommodation and service providers must comply with the highest levels of cleanliness and safety.”

It is currently illegal to travel internationally from the UK on holiday. At time of publish (1 April, 2021), returning to the UK will require a 10-day self-isolation quarantine at home.
