In Malta, they use Type G plugs and sockets. The mains voltage is 230 V, and the frequency is 50 Hz.
So, good news! You won’t need a travel adaptor in Malta. The plugs and sockets are the same as the standard Type G we use in the UK.
Key Takeaways
Plugs and sockets: G
Mains voltage: 230 V
Frequency: 50 Hz
Travel adaptor needed? No, you don’t need a travel adaptor
Voltage converter needed? No, you won’t need a voltage converter here.
These details combine official input from electricity authorities, IEC standards, and practical experience from people who’ve travelled internationally.
Malta is often visited along with Italy and Tunisia. It’s worth checking plug types — even within the Mediterranean, the setup can vary.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
Travelling is easier when you’ve got the right gear. A luggage scale helps you dodge excess baggage fees, a power bank keeps your phone alive all day, and packing cubes mean no more messy suitcases. Simple little items, but they make a big difference.
Type G sockets have three rectangular pins arranged in a triangular pattern, with a built-in fuse for safety. They are the standard used in the United Kingdom.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You won’t need a converter in Malta, as the mains voltage is basically the same as at home in the UK.
Before using your gadget overseas, glance at the voltage mark. Anything showing ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ will be fine without a voltage converter.
