Bringing medication whilst on holiday in Malta by microlith
My wife and I are coming to Valletta for a week. We both use medication that is controlled in the UK: opiates, morphine, for pain problems. Are there special Malta regulations we will have to comply with? Guidance welcomed.
My advise as it would be no matter where you go in the world. Ask your doctor to provide a letter that advises that they are prescribed for you etc. then at least when you are queried you have a medical professional letter as backup Read More

Is Malta making a BIG mistake? by GuestPoster566
This may not stay up for long but I'm asking if anyone may think that Malta is making a BIG mistake in allowing Libyan State Business to set up on the islands? One cannot ignore what is happening in Libya with the encroachment of ISIS or the ...
