OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION


Who requires a visa?
Third-country nationals may enter and travel within the territory of the Member
States applying the Schengen provisions for a period not exceeding three (3)
months (90 days) in any six-month period (180 days) provided they fulfill the entry
conditions laid down in the Schengen acquis, now integrated into the EU. Special
rules apply to non-EU national family members of EU citizens, with difering travel
rights according to whether they are travelling with the EU citizen or travelling
alone. In addition, a valid residence permit issued by an EU Member State applying
the Schengen provisions can permit a non-EU national to travel to other Member
States in the Schengen area without a visa.
The rights of non-EU nationals legally residing in the territory of a Member State to
travel within the European Union are also outlined in the EU Charter of Fundamental
Rights. The charter asserts the right of every European citizen to move and reside
freely within the territory of the Member States. It adds that these rights may be
granted to third-country nationals.
What documents will be required?
Visa applications must be in writing, giving all details required on the Visa
Application Form which can be acquired free of charge from Maltas diplomatic
missions and consular posts.
The Visa Application Form must be wholly and legibly completed, and signed by the

necessary;

Visa Types & Validity


There are three types of visa for travelling to Malta, depending on the type of
journey you intend to make:
Airport Transit Visa (ATV)
These visas allow the holder to cross the international transit zone of Maltas
International Airport. Nationals from countries included in the list of countries with
the obligation to carry an Airport Transit Visa must be in possession of this visa.
Short-stay C visa (Schengen)
These visas allow the holder to transit through or remain in the territory of Malta
and all other Schengen Member States for a maximum period of three months (90
days) within a period of six months (180 days) from the entry date into the
Schengen area.
The validity period of a Schengen (short-term) visa is determined in accordance with
the length of travel, for a maximum of 5 years. According to expected number of
stays, Schengen (short-term) visa may be issued as follows:
single entry entitles to a single uninterrupted stay during the period
stipulated in the visa, which may not exceed than 3 months;
double entry visa entitles to two stays during the period stipulated in the
visa, while the sum of the lengths of stay may not exceed (3) three months
within a half-year;
multiple entry visa entitles to multiple stays during the period stipulated
in the visa, while the sum of the lengths of stay may not exceed (3) three
months within a half-year.
National Long-stay D visa
These visas allow the holder to stay in the territory of Malta for periods longer than
three months (90 days). All third-country nationals who wish to enter Malta in order
to work and/or study must be in possession of this type of visa.
Applications for long-term or D visas are not subject of representation
arrangements and the applicants should contact the Central Visa Unit for further
information as to which of Maltas diplomatic missions and consular posts would
accept their visa applications.
Time required to issue visa:

Applications for Schengen short-stay visas can be lodged within 3 months prior to
the planned trip. Applications are in most cases reviewed within 7-15 days. In
individual cases, the review period can be extended up to 30 days and in
exceptional cases up to 60 days. It is recommended not to lodge a visa application
later than 15 days prior to the planned trip, as it cannot be otherwise guaranteed it
will be reviewed in time. Holders of multiple-entry Schengen short-stay visas can
lodge a visa application before this visa has expired, provided it has been valid for
at least 6 months. Visa applications of family members of EU citizens will be
reviewed in the shortest possible period of time.
