Compliance with Local Laws

Malta is covered by an exhaustive system of laws in order to ensure good order.  Substance abuse is not tolerated on the island and can land you a lengthy jail term and/or hefty fines.  Alcohol can be purchased at the age of 17 upwards while cigarettes can be purchased at the age of 18 upwards.  In most towns, consuming alcohol in streets is not permitted while smoking indoors in public places is also not permitted.

In the event that you are remanded in police custody, please inform the school on the emergency number immediately so we can guide you accordingly.

For motor accidents, the usual procedure is to call the wardens on +356 21 320 202.  If someone is injured, you should first call the emergency services on 112.
