Moving to Malta
Moving from the UK to Malta is popular with people relocating for work, retirement, family reasons or a change of lifestyle. At ClickMoves, we arrange international removals from across the UK to Malta, providing flexible options for everything from a few boxes and personal belongings to complete household moves.
Our network of experienced international moving partners enables us to arrange collection throughout the UK and delivery across Malta and Gozo.
Removal services from the UK to Malta
Every international move is different, so we offer a choice of services depending on the size of your shipment, your timescale and your requirements.
Shared and groupage removals to Malta
Our shared or groupage removal service is particularly suitable for smaller shipments and customers who do not need an entire container for their belongings.
Your goods share container space with other customers moving in the same direction, helping to keep the cost of your move down. This is an ideal option for boxes, personal effects, furniture and small household moves from the UK to Malta.
We arrange collections throughout the UK, with onward shipping and delivery to your destination in Malta.
Direct and dedicated removals to Malta
For larger household moves, we can arrange exclusive container shipping to Malta.
An exclusive container is allocated to your shipment, making it particularly suitable for customers moving the contents of a larger home or those who prefer not to share container space with other shipments.
We can advise on the most appropriate option after establishing the volume of goods you need to move.
Customs requirements when moving from the UK to Malta
Since the UK left the European Union, household goods and personal effects moving from Great Britain to Malta are subject to customs procedures.
People transferring their normal residence to Malta may be able to import qualifying used household goods and personal effects without paying customs duty and VAT, provided the relevant conditions are met.
You will normally need to provide documentation relating to your identity, residence and shipment. The exact requirements depend on your circumstances and the goods being transported.
ClickMoves and our international moving partners will explain the documentation required for your move and help guide you through the customs process.
Certain goods may be restricted or require additional documentation, so it is important to tell us if your shipment contains items such as alcohol, vehicles, valuable works of art or other unusual goods.

Transit times from the UK to Malta
Transit times depend on the type of shipping service you choose, your collection and delivery locations and current sailing and consolidation schedules.
Shared and groupage shipments generally take longer because your belongings are consolidated with other customers’ shipments before departure.
Exclusive container shipments can provide greater control over the shipping arrangements, although overall transit time will also depend on vessel schedules and customs clearance.
When preparing your quotation, we will explain the expected schedule for your particular move.
