With effect from October 1, 2021, the Republic of Malta relaxed the tough entry requirements. Those who have recovered who have received a vaccination will in future be able to enter the country without an expensive hotel quarantine.

However, there are a few things to consider: Entry to Malta is linked to a full vaccination against Covid-19. For those who have received a dose, recovery from illness is treated as the same as the first injection. This has to be proven and Malta is particularly strict here:

Vaccinated persons must show their status by means of the EU certificates. The same applies to those who have recovered, because they have to show both their recovery and vaccination certificates at the immigration control of the Ministry of Health. For people who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19, the EU certificate is sufficient, which shows the complete vaccination. Attention: The classic paper vaccination cards are not accepted.

Those who have recovered who have received an injection must also note that the vaccination must not have been more than six months ago. Otherwise, a second injection given at least 14 days prior to entry is required. More information on this with this link. Furthermore must the PLF form can be filled out online and can be presented either on paper or on a smartphone at the immigration control of the Ministry of Health.

All information in this article applies only to entry from countries that are listed in the "red" zone. Much stricter regulations apply to “dark red”, which in most cases do not spare people who have been completely vaccinated from quarantine.
