Malta Student Visa Requirements

Requirements for a student visa for Malta can vary based on the nationality of the applicant, the duration of the intended stay, and specific regulations at the time of application. As of my last update in September 2021, here are the general requirements for a student visa to Malta for non-EU/EEA nationals:

  1. Application Form: A completed and signed visa application form.

  2. Passport: A valid passport with at least three months' validity beyond the intended stay in Malta. Some blank pages should also be available for visa endorsement.

  3. Passport-sized Photos: Typically, two recent passport-sized photos are required.

  4. Admission Letter: An official letter of acceptance from an accredited educational institution in Malta, indicating the duration and type of course.

  5. Proof of Accommodation: Evidence of where you will stay during your time in Malta. This can be a rental agreement, letter from a host, or confirmation of campus accommodation.

  6. Proof of Funds: Evidence that you can support yourself financially during your stay. This could be a bank statement, scholarship letter, or a letter from a sponsor.

  7. Health Insurance: Comprehensive health insurance covering all risks normally covered for Maltese nationals and valid throughout the entire Schengen area.

  8. Travel Itinerary: Details of your travel to Malta, which might include flight bookings or reservations.

  9. Medical Certificate: A medical certificate might be required, showing that you don't have any contagious diseases.

  10. Police Conduct Certificate: A certificate from the police in your home country or any country where you've lived for more than a year in the past five years, stating you don't have a criminal record.

  11. Visa Fee: Payment of the required visa application fee.

  12. Purpose of Stay: You might be asked to provide a letter explaining your reasons for studying in Malta and your intentions after completing your studies.

Remember:

  • Always check the official website or consult the Maltese embassy or consulate in your home country for the most up-to-date and specific requirements.

  • For stays longer than 90 days, you might need to apply for a national visa, also known as a Type D visa. Ensure you're applying for the correct visa based on your length of stay.

  • Depending on your country of origin, additional documentation or steps may be required.

I recommend contacting the Maltese consulate or embassy in your country or visiting the official website of the Maltese government to obtain the most recent information on student visa requirements.
