I want to import a car from UK. I no longer live in UK (recently moved abroad). I want to come, buy a car, and drive it to my destination (Malta) legally. How to insure it? Short term insurance? Can I buy it in UK if I do not live in UK now?

If you’re insured in one country in Europe, you will be insured by the rest.The European insurance companies though of this before laying out their policies, no worries.
If you take your car abroad
Al countries that are members of the EU and those listed above have agreed that an International Motor Insurance Certificate (Green Card) is no longer necessary for cross border travel. Your policy, SCHEDULE, and certificate of motor insurance should therefore provide sufficient eveidence that YOU are complying with the relevant laws relating to compulsory motor insurance in any of the countries that YOU visit. You should also remember that it is a legal requirement that YOU carry the registration document with YOU when taking YOUR CAR abroad.
Basically, under EU law, if you’re insured in the UK, you automatically have the minimum required insurance to drive anywhere else in the EU. However, a specifically noted limitation in my policy is that I must notify my insurance company if I want my EU cover to extend beyond 30 days in any one insurance year.
There should be an AA (Automobile Association ) they should be able to help you… good luck mate.
