Hi, Please can someone advise and confirm if someone with a UK licence registered to a UK address and having a Maltese e-ID card living/working in Malta can drive a car registered in Malta? I have read that this is up to the expiry date of your licence. Many thanks,

That's exactly what I said, if you hold a licence issued within the EU聽 then you do not need to exchange it for a Maltese licence.
However come renewal time, rules in the original country of issue may require you to be a resident in that country to enable you to renew your licence.

Then you may need to exchange it for a Maltese licence.
