Can I use my devices in Malta?
The local supply in Malta is 230 V / 50 Hz. Most modern chargers for phones, laptops, cameras are dual voltage and work worldwide as long as the plug fits the socket.
- OKAY Phone, tablet, camera chargers and power banks usually support 100–240 V and can be used safely with the correct plug or adapter.
- CAUTION Laptops, game consoles and monitors often work worldwide, but always check the voltage range (100–240 V) on the power brick before plugging in.
- AVOID Single-voltage devices with heating elements (hair dryers, straighteners, kettles) can be problematic if their rated voltage does not match the local supply of 230 V.
Malta is a small Mediterranean archipelago with a remarkable density of ancient temples, fortified cities, a vibrant capital in Valletta and clear-water dive sites that attract divers from across Europe.
There, the main plug type G are used and the standard supply is 230 V at 50 Hz. You will need a travel adapter because the local plug types differ from those used in your home country. Most modern devices support 100–240 V.
Tip Malta uses the same type G three-pin sockets as the United Kingdom. Travelers from continental Europe and most other regions will need a dedicated UK-style adapter. Like in the UK, many sockets have individual switches that need to be turned on.
