VISA PROCESS INFORMATION
ABOUT MALTA STUDENT VISA
Everyone who is not from an EU/EEA country or Switzerland, needs a visa to study in Malta. If you are exempt from a Schengen visa, then you may be able to pursue a short study course (max. 3 months) without a visa. However, for full-time courses (which are longer than 3 months) every non-EU/EEA/Swiss national needs a Malta student visa.
Study visa process:
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. CVU fees: 150 euros.
