Normally if you buy a speargun locally the paperwork is filled in by the supplying dealer and then you go to your local police station along with your ID card to apply. I've been told it can take 4-6 weeks to process the permit to have the speargun.

You can call the Police GHQ tomorrow and ask for the Weapons Section, they should be able to guide you. it is my understanding that technically foreigners are not allowed to spearfish in Maltese waters
