Malta to Ease National COVID-19 Travel Restrictions. Malta’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Health Chris Fearne has announced that the Health Authorities will be proceeding with their COVID-19 exit roadmap as planned. Fearne said that at present, despite observing an increase in daily cases, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control has confirmed that Malta had the lowest rate of COVID-related ITU occupancy across the EU.

This, together with the fact that the majority of the Maltese population has now received the third dose of the vaccine against COVID-19, will lead to further relaxing of COVID-19 measures, including easing of restrictions relating to incoming travel.

From 11 April 2022, incoming tourists traveling to Malta from a country on the red list will be allowed in with a negative PCR test (taken up to 72 hours prior to arrival) or a recognized Covid recovery certificate which cannot be older than 180 days.

Apart from this, Malta’s Deputy Prime Minister also announced that as planned, as of 10 April 2022, a vaccine certificate is no longer needed for persons to attend standing outdoor events or seated indoor events.

“The decision to ease further COVID-19 restrictions related to travel continues to be a turning point in the Government’s efforts to drive the Maltese Islands back to normality. We are committed that the coming months will generate excellent results in terms of tourism inflows as well as ascertain our ultimate goal of making Malta a hub of tourism excellence for the years to come,” outlined Minister for Tourism Clayton Bartolo.
