What Our Customers Say About Us.
Professional Removals to Malta: Moving Your Household Across the Mediterranean
Malta has long attracted people from the UK, whether they’re relocating for employment, retirement, family reasons or simply looking for a different lifestyle. English is an official language alongside Maltese, while the country’s Mediterranean climate and relatively compact size make it very different from many of the mainland European destinations we serve.
Some customers are making Malta their home for the first time, while others are Maltese nationals returning after living and working in Britain or simply looking to furnish a holiday home. Either way, relocating an established household to an island requires careful planning and an appropriate transport service.
Container shipping gives us the flexibility to accommodate both small and substantial household consignments. Part-load containers can make sense where you don’t need an entire container, while dedicated sole-use 20ft, 40ft and high-cube containers provide increasing capacity for larger relocations.
Customers using our container services can pack and export wrap their belongings themselves, provided everything is prepared to a good standard suitable for international container shipping. Alternatively, European Removal Services can provide professional packing and export wrapping for some or all of your belongings.
For suitable moves, dedicated and part-load road removal services provide another option. Furniture and other household items transported by road can be protected using professional removal blankets and appropriate securing equipment within the vehicle.
With depots throughout the UK and Europe, we can coordinate collection from anywhere in the UK and arrange onward transportation and delivery throughout Malta.

Container and Removal Services to Malta
Every UK to Malta removal is different. The amount you’re taking, your collection and delivery addresses, preferred dates, budget and level of assistance required will all help determine the most appropriate option.
Our services range from part-load container space for smaller consignments to dedicated sole-use containers and European road removal services.
Part-Load & Groupage Container Shipping
Ideal for: Smaller household moves, personal possessions and customers who don’t need an entire shipping container.
Our part-load container service to Malta allows your belongings to travel alongside other compatible consignments. Sharing container capacity provides a cost-effective solution when you don’t require exclusive use of a 20ft or 40ft container.
You pay for the space your belongings require rather than reserving a complete container unnecessarily. Your consignment is individually identified before being consolidated with other customers’ goods for international shipping.
All belongings transported by container must be appropriately packed and export wrapped to a good standard suitable for international container shipping.
Customers can choose to pack and export wrap their belongings themselves. Alternatively, European Removal Services can provide a professional packing and export wrapping service for some or all of the consignment.
A combination is also possible. You may prefer to prepare some belongings yourself while leaving furniture, fragile pieces or more difficult items for our experienced removal team to professionally pack and export wrap.
Dedicated Sole-Use 20ft Container
Ideal for: Larger household moves where exclusive container space is preferred.
A dedicated sole-use 20ft container provides your belongings with their own shipping space rather than combining them with other customers’ consignments. It can be a practical solution for customers transporting a substantial amount of furniture, boxes, appliances and other household possessions to Malta.
Because the container is reserved exclusively for your move, your belongings aren’t sharing the container with another customer’s consignment.
All goods must be appropriately packed and export wrapped to a good standard suitable for international container shipping.
Customers can prepare and export wrap their own belongings, or we can provide a professional packing and export wrapping service. Many customers choose a combination, packing everyday possessions themselves while leaving furniture, fragile pieces and larger items for our team to professionally prepare.
Our service can include collection, loading, container shipping, customs clearance assistance and delivery to your new property in Malta, with unloading and other destination services available where required.
Dedicated Sole-Use 40ft & High-Cube Containers
Ideal for: Large family homes and customers moving most or all of an established household.
Where a 20ft container doesn’t provide enough capacity, dedicated sole-use 40ft and high-cube containers offer substantially more room for furniture, appliances, boxes and other household belongings.
A high-cube container provides additional internal height compared with a standard container, creating extra cubic capacity that can be useful for particularly large household consignments.
The complete container is reserved exclusively for your belongings rather than sharing the space with another customer’s consignment.
As with our other container services, all belongings need to be packed and export wrapped to a good standard suitable for international container shipping. You can prepare the consignment yourself, use our professional packing and export wrapping service, or combine the two approaches.
Our service can include collection, loading, container shipping, customs clearance assistance and delivery to your new home in Malta. Unloading and other destination services can also be arranged where required.
Dedicated Vans & Removal Vehicles to Malta
Ideal for: Customers looking for a dedicated European road removal service as an alternative to container shipping.
Although container shipping is an important part of our removals to Malta, dedicated road transportation can also provide an alternative for suitable moves.
For smaller dedicated moves, a Luton van provides approximately 18m³ of loading capacity and a payload of around 1,000kg. The vehicle is reserved exclusively for your belongings, making it suitable for apartment moves, personal relocations and customers who don’t require the capacity of a larger truck.
For medium-sized households, a 7.5 tonne removal truck provides approximately 33m³ of loading space and a payload of around 3,000kg. This provides additional capacity for furniture, appliances and boxes while remaining more manageable than a full-sized removal vehicle.
Larger dedicated removal vehicles can also be considered according to the volume and weight of the consignment and the access available at collection and delivery.
Furniture and other household belongings transported by road can be protected using professional removal blankets and appropriate securing equipment within the vehicle.
Because a dedicated vehicle is reserved for your move, your belongings remain together throughout transportation without sharing vehicle space with another customer’s consignment.
Part-Load Road Removals to Malta
Ideal for: Smaller and medium-sized moves where an entire removal vehicle isn’t required.
Our part-load road removals to Malta can provide another cost-effective option for customers whose belongings don’t require a complete removal vehicle.
Your consignment shares available vehicle capacity with other compatible removals travelling along a suitable European route. By sharing transport capacity and costs, you pay for the space your belongings require rather than reserving an entire vehicle.
Furniture and other household items are protected using professional removal blankets and appropriate securing equipment during road transportation.
Part-load road services are particularly suitable where customers have some flexibility around collection and delivery dates. We’ll coordinate your belongings with other compatible removals and provide an estimated schedule.
Whether container shipping, a dedicated road vehicle or part-load road transportation provides the most appropriate solution will depend on your volume, weight, dates, destination and access requirements.
A Malta Removal Service Built Around Your Move
Not everyone moving to Malta needs the same level of assistance. Some customers are comfortable preparing most of their possessions themselves, while others prefer an experienced international removals team to manage the process from collection in the UK through to delivery at their Maltese property.
For container removals, all belongings must be appropriately packed and export wrapped to a good standard suitable for international container shipping. Customers can undertake this themselves, use our professional packing and export wrapping service or choose a combination of the two.
For road removals, furniture and household belongings can be protected using professional removal blankets and appropriate securing equipment within the vehicle. Professional packing and export wrapping can also be arranged where required.
Storage can be incorporated into either service where necessary. If you need to leave your UK property before your Maltese home is available, we can discuss short- or longer-term storage as part of your removal plan.
Whether you’re moving several possessions, the contents of an apartment or everything accumulated during years of family life in the UK, we’ll recommend a service based on the actual requirements of your relocation.
Container Shipping to Malta
For many household removals to Malta, container shipping provides a practical way to transport possessions from the UK to the island.
Depending on how much you’re taking, belongings can travel as a part load in a shared container or within your own dedicated sole-use 20ft, 40ft or high-cube container.
Part-load container shipping allows you to pay for the space your belongings require, while a dedicated sole-use container reserves the complete container exclusively for your household possessions.
All goods transported by container must be appropriately packed and export wrapped to a good standard suitable for international container shipping.
Customers can pack and export wrap their belongings themselves, or our removal team can provide professional packing and export wrapping. Many moves use a combination of the two, with customers preparing everyday possessions themselves while leaving furniture, fragile pieces and more difficult items to our experienced team.
We can coordinate collection, loading, container shipping, customs clearance assistance and delivery to your Maltese property, with additional destination services available according to your requirements.
Positioning a shipping container directly at a property requires suitable road and loading access. If this isn’t practical, it doesn’t prevent you from using container shipping. We can arrange an alternative method of collecting your belongings and loading the container as part of your removal plan.

Key Considerations When Moving to Malta
-
Residence Requirements:
UK nationals who were legally residing in Malta before the end of the Brexit transition period may have rights protected under the Withdrawal Agreement. British citizens who began living in Malta after 31 December 2020 generally need to use an appropriate Maltese residence route for non-EU nationals.
-
Customs Procedures:
Household belongings arriving from Great Britain enter Malta from outside the EU customs territory. Malta Customs provides transfer-of-residence relief for qualifying used household and personal belongings. Its published conditions include having normally lived outside the EU for a continuous period of at least 12 months and generally having used qualifying belongings for at least six months before export.
-
Importing Belongings in Stages:
Malta Customs allows qualifying belongings to arrive in full or in separate consignments. Under its published transfer-of-residence procedure, eligible personal property can be imported from six months before establishing residence in the EU until one year after establishing residence in Malta, subject to the conditions for relief.
-
Customs Documentation:
Malta Customs requires supporting documentation for transfer-of-residence claims. This can include passports, arrival documentation, a detailed signed and valued packing list, proof of living abroad during the preceding 12 months and the relevant customs documentation.
-
Security Deposit:
Malta Customs’ transfer-of-residence procedure includes a security deposit when importing personal effects under the relief arrangements. The deposit may subsequently be refunded when the applicable residence and ownership requirements have been satisfied.
-
Planning Your Delivery:
Apartment access, parking, lifts, narrow streets and the ability to position a suitable delivery vehicle can affect how unloading is organised, particularly in Malta’s more densely developed areas. Providing detailed access information when requesting your quotation helps us plan the appropriate delivery arrangements.

Malta Removal FAQs
That mainly depends on how much you’re moving. If you only have part of a household, sharing container space with other compatible consignments can provide a more economical option.
Larger moves may be better suited to a dedicated sole-use 20ft container, while 40ft and high-cube containers provide considerably more capacity for substantial family relocations.
Once we know what you’re taking, we can recommend an appropriate option rather than you paying for container space you don’t need.
Yes. You can pack and export wrap your own belongings, provided everything is prepared to a good standard suitable for international container shipping.
Alternatively, European Removal Services can provide a professional packing and export wrapping service for some or all of your belongings. A combination is also possible if you’d prefer to prepare certain items yourself while leaving furniture, fragile pieces or other belongings for our removal team.
Potentially. Malta Customs allows qualifying personal property to be imported up to six months before you establish your residence, provided the applicable transfer-of-residence requirements are satisfied and you undertake to establish your residence within the required period.
Qualifying possessions can also arrive in separate consignments after your move, subject to the applicable time limits and conditions.
Malta Customs’ published transfer-of-residence procedure includes a security deposit connected with the importation of personal effects.
The deposit can subsequently be refunded once the applicable residence and ownership conditions have been demonstrated. Because the amount and procedure depend on the consignment and circumstances, we’ll consider the relevant customs requirements when planning your UK to Malta removal.
Yes. We can arrange removals to Gozo as well as destinations throughout Malta.
Tell us the complete delivery address when requesting your quotation so we can consider the volume of belongings, property access and appropriate final-delivery arrangements as part of the complete removal plan.
Not necessarily. A full shipping container requires appropriate vehicle access and sufficient space for positioning and unloading, which won’t be practical at every Maltese property.
Apartments, narrow streets and densely developed locations may require a different arrangement. Where direct container access isn’t suitable, we can arrange delivery using an appropriate removal vehicle, allowing you to use container shipping without needing the container itself positioned outside your new home.
