I know this reply is 2 years late, but here is a reply I received from Transport Malta about this precise issue;

With reference to your email, kindly note that a locally registered vehicle can only be transferred or registered as long as s/he hold on of these documents:

  • A copy of a notary contract showing acquisition of property in Malta/Gozo (TM does not accept a contract of sale if the passport number mentioned on the contract is completely different from the one in possession of the client), or
  • A legally valid identification document issued in terms of the Identity Card and other Identity Documents Act Chapter 258, or
  • A Valid residence permit, or
  • An acknowledgement issued from the Expatriate Office at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Clear as mud!
