The Malta Hotels and Restaurants Association (MHRA) supports the proposal by Dr Byron Camilleri, Minister within the Ministry for Home Affairs, Security and Employment, to introduce on-the-spot fines for short-term visitors without a permanent residency permit who breach Maltese laws.
This measure reflects a long-standing MHRA recommendation to strengthen enforcement, protect community well-being, and safeguard Malta’s reputation.
Malta is welcoming, but respect for its laws and residents is non-negotiable. Immediate fines will serve as a clear deterrent and help maintain order and standards.
MHRA remains committed to working with Government to ensure effective and fair implementation.
