Calling Malta: number formats

Malta’s country code is +356. Every Maltese number, landline or mobile, has 8 digits after the code, so the format is simple:

  • Dial +356 and then all 8 digits. There is no trunk 0 to drop and no area code to add.
  • Mobiles start with 7 or 9. Dial +356 followed by the 8 digits, such as +356 79 123 456.
  • Landlines start with 2. Dial them the same way, with all 8 digits.
  • Because every number has the same length, the first digit tells you whether a number is a mobile or a landline, not how many digits to dial.

Malta is on Central European Time, UTC+1, and uses daylight saving time (UTC+2) from late March to late October, in line with the rest of the EU. That keeps Malta 1 hour ahead of the UK all year and 6 hours ahead of New York for most of the year.
