With the pet to Malta

For animals there are strict conditions for entry. The following information should give you an overview of the conditions. However you should consult a veterinary to get detailed information. We believe that the information below is exact, but we can’t give you a guarantee for it.

CATS & DOGS

To enter Malta without any problems the following conditions must be satisfied:

1. You need an EU Passport

2. A Microchip should be implanted. (Note: EU-Passport and microchip stand in direct connection to each other, numbers are identical)

3. The dog needs to have all the necessary vaccinations:

3. a) rabies vaccination

3. b) Ticks treatment und treatment against Echinococcus (Note: both treatments need to be done 48 hours before you enter Malta)

3. c) Vaccination against S, H, P, Pi, L ;(Note: S - distemper; H - hepatitis; P - parvovirus; Pi - cough; L - leptospirose)

4. Very IMPORTANT: You need to have a Titer test (Rabies-antibody-check for dogs and cats); needs to be done 6 months before you enter Malta

Consequence if you don’t satisfy the conditions: The dog will need to go to the quarantine in Luqa.

Costs for the quarantine: The quarantine is not for free. The price depends on the size of the pet. A middle-sized dog costs around €5 a day. Plus the extra costs for the vet and tax. That’s not very cheap considering the duration of the quarantine!

Rabits

There are no conditions for rabbits to enter Malta. But you still should contact a vet to make sure.

Great Siege 1565 Malta

Karl V., Spanish king and the Kaiser of Germany gave the island of Malta as fiefdom to the Knights Hospitalizes (Knights of St. John) in 1530 with the purpose to use their powers against the godless enemies. The Turks defeated the fleet of Venice which was the biggest at that time in the Mediterranean Sea in 1538. The only galleys that could still endanger the Turks were that of the Knights of St. John. A conflict was inescapable.

Hypogeum of Hal Saflieni

The Hypogeum is a subsurface cave-system in Hal-Saflieni (a small village) near Paola. The caves were discovered accidentally during the process of excavating a cistern in 1902. The numerous rooms are distributed on three levels which are all connected with stairs.

Valletta - Capital City of Malta

Valletta (7100 inhabitants) is a unique city. She lies on a peninsula in western Malta. The city possesses enormous fortification. The building of the city started in 1566 and was finished only 10 years after. Named after the Grand Master Jean Parisot de la Vallette.
