Visa option for Malta
All citizens outside the EU/EEA/Switzerland need to apply for a Maltese study visa and a residence permit to pursue a study course longer than three months in Malta.
However, if you decide to study there for more than 90 days, you must apply for a residence permit for your studies. With a residence permit, you can stay in Malta for the whole duration of your course.
To apply for a Malta student visa, you must contact the Maltese embassy, consulate, or a visa application office in your country. Then, you must:
- Schedule an appointment for the submission of a visa application.
- Collect all the required documents for a Malta student visa.
On the day of your appointment, submit the application form, fee payment, and other requested documents. Make sure you fill out the application form completely and sign it at the end.
Malta offers a variety of visa options for foreign nationals, including tourist visas, business visas, and visas for medical purposes.
To live and work in Malta, employees need to apply for the National long-stay Visa or D-Visa.
The D visa allows foreign nationals to stay in Malta for more than three months.
In addition to a long-stay visa, foreign employees will need a work permit. In Malta, this permit is known as an employment license.
