Opinion on Malta is divided, though not dramatically: ratings run from level 1 to level 2. Two of the ten take the stricter view, and the remaining eight see no cause for it. A one-level split of this kind usually reflects differing thresholds between governments rather than a dispute about the facts.
Currency varies between sources. South Korea's is the oldest assessment of Malta on file, last revised in May 2025, while the rest have been reviewed more recently.
The warnings for Malta are not uniform across the country. One distinct area is singled out by at least one government. The areas named are defined by long district-level lists rather than by single place names — see the individual advisories above for the exact boundaries. At least one government advises against non-essential travel to a specific area while taking a softer line on the country overall.
Your own government's rating is the one your insurer and embassy will act on, so read that source first — the one level of daylight between the strictest and most relaxed assessments here is context, not a substitute for it.
