At the festival
-
Dont get involved with drugs. At AMP Lost&Found last year 11 British festival-goers were arrested on drugs charges. 5 of them served sentences in prison. Penalties for drug offences are harsh in Malta. There is little distinction between classes of drugs in Maltese law.
-
Look after your passport. Having to apply for an Emergency Travel Document means you will miss out on valuable AMP Lost&Found time. It may also mean changing your travel plans and is expensive too. More info: https://www.gov.uk/emergency-travel-document
