1 mission of Chile in Malta: Consulate of Chile in Valletta, Malta. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr. Malcolm Patrick Dato Mallia, Honorary Consul (confirmed in the diplomatic list of Chile, 1 Nov 2024)
Chile presents a compelling destination for Maltese travelers, showcasing a wealth of natural beauty, cultural richness, and diverse experiences. Its stunning landscapes, ranging from the Atacama Desert to Patagonia, attract a growing number of international tourists. With around 200,000 Maltese traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Chile an appealing choice for their travels.
Chile is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Malta, but there are some important factors to consider. According to the Global Peace Index, Chile ranks 62nd out of 160 countries, indicating a moderate level of safety. In comparison, Malta has a much lower murder rate of 0.4 per 100,000 people, while Chile's rate is higher at 3.6. Malta scores better in terms of organized crime, with lower indices across various categories, such as mafia groups (1.5 for Malta vs. 4.0 for Chile) and human trafficking (5.0 for Malta vs. 4.0 for Chile). While tourists can enjoy their visit to Chile, it is advisable to remain vigilant and informed about local safety conditions, particularly in urban areas.
