So long as your UK drivers licence is valid in the UK you're good to go here.

Start eating lots of corn flakes as soon as you arrive.

If you save up 20 of the vouchers from the back of the special packs, you can send them away to the Malta Transport Authority and they give you a Maltese driving licence free of charge, no theory test or previous driving experience required.

Contrary to what toonarmy9752 has posted this will still not allow you to drive a Maltese bus. You must be able to prove that you are a blood relative of Ayrton Senna or Michael Schumacher to be allowed that privilege.

100% true, but the DVLA won't allow you to change your address to an overseas one. Changing to a Maltese licence is easy.
