Hi,
a hypothetical question...
Suppose someone drove their UK car to Malta 3 or 4 months ago (via ferry from Italy) but did not realise they had to register it within 20 days but now wants to do so legally...
Suppose that person had already gotten their ID card so cannot claim tourist exemption and after realising the problem kept the car off road in a garage...
According to transport malta, you have to register the car within 20 days of arrival or else be fined 30 euro per day after that. Such a fine would be 2500+ euro.
Is there a way to avoid the fine?
For example, if one took a trip to Sicily with the car and thus had a new date of entry, would it be ok to submit it as proof of the car's entry when they started the registration process?
Thanks :-)
