Malta Will Only Accept Paper Proof of UK Vaccination

As proof of vaccination from UK immigrants, the Maltese authorities will only accept a paper version of the NHS Covid letter.

UK visitors to Malta will be required to present proof of a negative PCR test as well as proof of complete vaccination starting on Wednesday, 30th June.

The NHS app will not be recognized by the government.

“From 30 June 2021, the Maltese authorities have declared that all entrants from the United Kingdom will be required to produce confirmation of complete vaccination,” the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said. The paper form of the NHS Covid letter is the only one that will be accepted.

“Children aged 5-11 can travel if they are accompanying their vaccinated parents or legal guardian and must show evidence of a negative PCR test taken 72 hours prior to arrival. Under-fives do not need a test.”

Malta is on the UK’s green list, therefore visitors do not have to go through quarantine.

The Malta Tourism Authority in the UK advised: “Only the paper version of the NHS Covid letter will be accepted which can be requested online or by calling 119. The vaccination certificate will be not accepted in digital or downloaded PDF form. It must be the printed version issued directly from the NHS.”
