Malta Visa Information

Tourist Visa Routes & Entry Rules for Visiting Malta

Malta, known for its Mediterranean coastline, ancient temples, and charming historic cities, follows Schengen Area entry rules for tourists. Travelers from visa-exempt countries can visit Malta for up to 90 days within a 180-day period without a visa, making short trips convenient.

Those who need prior authorization must apply for a Schengen Tourist Visa (Type C), which covers short stays for sightseeing, leisure, and visiting friends or family. Applicants typically need a valid passport, travel insurance, proof of accommodation, financial means, and a return or onward ticket.

For stays beyond the standard short-stay limit or for non-tourism purposes such as work, study, or long-term residence, travelers must apply for the appropriate national long-stay visa or residence permit. Malta does not issue long-term tourist visas, so visitors should choose the correct category based on their plans.

Malta is part of the Schengen Area, so visitors from visa-exempt countries (like the UK, US, Canada, Australia, Japan, etc.) can enter visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Travellers from visa-required nations must apply for a Schengen Tourist Visa (Type C) before arrival.
