Grand Harbour : Profile

Clearance

The Customs House is on Lascaris Wharf at the cruise liner terminal in Grand Harbour - just below the bus terminal. It is possible to come alongside, but it is better for yachts to clear in at Manoel Island, Sliema. Call Valetta Radio and go ashore at Lazartte Creek & report to Customs, Immigration, Police and Harbour Office.

At present, all vessels still need to obtain exit clearance - including providing proof of payment of all marina fees. Before final departure from the Islands, a passenger/crew list has to be drawn up on the appropriate form and presented to Customs Officer and all passports are to be submitted to the Immigration Officer.
