The Malta country code is +356 — reaching the EU's iGaming + blockchain capital, ~0.55 million Maltese + a fully English-speaking market across GO, Epic + Melita. The home of the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), Mediterranean tourism + film production — Maltese bank verifications (Bank of Valletta, HSBC Malta) all expect a +356 mobile.
Malta was assigned +356 by the ITU — placing it in zone 3 with southern Europe + the Mediterranean. Like Denmark, Malta has no area codes at all: every number is exactly 8 digits, dialed in full.
Malta has used the +356 country code since the ITU placed it in zone 3 alongside Italy +39, Spain +34, Portugal +351, Greece +30 + Cyprus +357. The three-digit "356" code reflects Malta's position in the Mediterranean numbering bloc. Malta is a full EU member (since 2004) + uses the euro (since 2008).
Malta's telephone numbering is administered by the MCA (Malta Communications Authority). Three main operators: GO (the former incumbent), Epic (formerly Vodafone Malta) + Melita. 5G is deployed across the islands. Malta also licenses a large share of EU-facing online operators through the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA).
Malta uses a <b>closed 8-digit numbering plan</b> with no area codes + no trunk prefix. Every Maltese number — landline or mobile — is exactly <b>8 digits</b>, dialed in full. There is no leading 0 to drop. Landlines begin with <b>2</b> (e.g. 21, 27); mobiles begin with <b>7</b> or <b>9</b> (77, 79, 99, 98). Numbers are fully portable.
Malta is the iGaming capital of Europe. The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) licenses a large share of EU-facing online-gaming operators, and Malta brands itself "Blockchain Island" for crypto + fintech. Add year-round Mediterranean tourism, an English-language-teaching hub + a film-production base (Gladiator, Troy + Game of Thrones season 1 all shot here) — and a +356 line plugs into all of it. Maltese is the only Semitic language written in the Latin alphabet + an official EU language.
A Maltese phone number in international format is written as +356 NNNN NNNN — always exactly 8 digits. Example: +356 21 250 000 for a Valletta-area landline, +356 27 123 456 for another landline, +356 79 123 456 for a mobile. Maltese numbers are commonly grouped 2-3-3 or in pairs for readability.
Because Malta uses a closed 8-digit plan with no area codes + no trunk prefix, there is no leading 0 to drop — you always dial all 8 digits, both domestically + internationally. Landlines begin with 2 (21, 27); mobiles begin with 7 or 9 (77, 79, 99, 98).
From the Grand Harbour in Valletta to the Azure Window cliffs in Gozo, every Maltese number lives behind a +356 — all 8 digits, no area code. Pick a number that fits your customers anywhere in Malta.
Every country uses a different exit code before +356. From any mobile, + replaces the exit code — so +356 21 250 000 works worldwide. Maltese numbers are always 8 digits — never drop a digit.
