Maltese plate for camper outside Malta

Anna Carlsson

I would like to buy a camper, but the camper will not stay in Malta for a few years.

As a resident in Malta, I can not register the vehicle in another country.

What happens if I do not do the annual visit because the camper is in another country?

Can I circulate in >Europe without problems?

Would I receive some fines from TM?

What will happen the day I'm coming back with the camper to Malta?

Thanks

Your post makes no sense at all. Especially this...


"As a resident in Malta, I can not register the vehicle in another country."


So, start from the beginning. What do you wish to do? Tour Europe, EU, stay in a particular country?

As SimCityAT mentioned, you post is somewhat confusing. It may be best if you address your questions directly to Transport Malta on the following email:

info.tm@transport.gov.mt


There is some guidance on the TM website regarding the current procedure, but you stated the camper will not be in Malta for a few years, so may have changed by that time.

Yes , you are probably right. Let's try again.

I want to buy a camper and drive it around Europe for few years. I will leave the camper in some EU state and fly back home to Malta.

As I'm Maltese residents I can only apply for Maltese plate number.

The camper will travel around Europe without return to Malta for few years.

How can I do it legally?

Shul I received some fine because I will not be able to the annal check in Malta?

I dont know about this business of not being to apply for a registration in another country - we own a car in another EU country without problem.

In Malta you will probably have a problem with your insurance. Most insurance companies say they will cover insurance abroad for up to 4 weeks. Furthermore VRT is required in Malta every 2 years. I suggest you take the vehicle out of Malta, drive to Sweden and re register it over there.

Hi and welcome to the Forum.


There is an EU webpage that deals with this matter; this will take you straight to it.


I hope this helps.

If you are not Maltese but are in Malta on an eResidence card you can not be out of Malta for more than 6 months without losing your residency,

The vehicle would either have to be registered elsewhere or return to Malta every two years for a VRT!

I would imagine that you would have difficulty in the EU in that if you stayed in any one country for an extended period of time you would have to comply with their registration requirements!
