SCHEDA
PRATICA MALTA
DOCUMENTI
All visitors entering Malta need a valid
passport, except for nationals of Austria,
Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy,
Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and
Switzerland, for whom a valid national ID
card is acceptable for stays of up to 3
months.
ARRIVARE A MALTA
All flights arrive and depart from Malta
International Airport. Mainland Europe as
well as North Africa and the Middle East has
got the best possible access to Malta. Air
Malta flights operate daily from London,
Frankfurt, Rome, Zurich, Catania (Sicily)
and Tripoli (Libya) and several direct
weekly flights from Milan, Paris, Geneva,
Vienna, Moscow, Tunis, Cairo and Dubai.
Other carriers with service to Malta include
Alitalia, KLM, Lufthansa, Swissair and
Tunisavia and many others.
MUOVERSI
The public transport is an extremely cheap
way to move around, ranging from 15 cents to
50 cents per ride. The main bus terminus in
Valletta is just outside the City Gate and
in Victoria, Gozo. The route number is shown
on the front of each bus. Bus tickets are
purchased directly from the bus driver on
board the bus. Also special tickets (1 day -
7 days), which allow unrestricted travel,
can be purchased from the main terminals.
CARTE DI CREDITO
Visa, MasterCard and American Express credit
cards are widely accepted in hotels,
restaurants, shops, travel and car hire
agencies.
Traveller's Cheques & Eurocheques: All the
main brands of traveller's cheques can be
easily exchanged at hotels, banks and
bureaux de change. There are also 24-hour
exchange machines at banks in the main
tourist towns where one can feed in foreign
banknotes and get Maltese currency back
automatically.
ATMs: These are easily found in all the main
towns in Malta where you can withdraw
Maltese cash using a credit card and PIN.
(Note that this incurs a 'handling charge'
of around 1.5% of the amount withdrawn).
NUMERI DI EMERGENZA
Police 191
Ambulance 196
Fire Service 199
Overseas Operator 194
Government Information Line 153
COME VESTIRSI
For the summer months light cotton is ideal
(and obviously swim wear!). Long sleeve
jumpers and a jacket are just right for the
winter months. Comfortable and non-slip
shoes are a must for country walks. If you
plan to visit churches you will need long
trousers or a long skirt and something to
cover your shoulders with.
STARE IN SALUTE DURANTE IL SOGGIORNO
As you get closer to the tropics, the effect
of the sun is much stronger. Any ill effects
from the sun can be avoided by not overdoing
the sunbathing when you first arrive and by
applying a sufficient sunscreen. You should
also be aware of the effects of the heat
exhaustion, especially when you just arrive.
Avoid over-exertion and drink plenty of
water. You should drink only bottled water.
CURE MEDICHE
There are two state hospitals, St. Luke's in
Malta and the Gozo General Hospital in Gozo
and state policlinics in every district. A
number of private hospitals can also be
found. Should a student of Linguatime be
hospitalised in a state hospital and not be
covered by insurance, s/he will be exempt
from paying the hospital bill on condition
that the Head of Linguatime School issues a
certificate confirming that the student is
registered at the school.
If the student holds a valid medical
insurance, then, the student shall be liable
to pay the hospital fee and claim refund
from the insurance.
Should you require medical assistance, the
school doctor may be contacted. This service
is not free. If you suffer from a medical
condition, please notify the school prior to
your arrival.
We advise you to either check that your
insurance policy is valid in Malta or take
out a new policy prior to your arrival.
