APPLYING FOR A VISA FOR ENTRY INTO MALTA

All foreigners who are currently residing in countries where there is an Embassy, High Commission or Consulate of Malta should preferably apply at any of these offices where applications are processed and visas may be issued or refused . If an delegate is residing in a country where no Maltese Embassy/High Commission or Consulate exists, the delegate may contact the Honorary Consul for Malta in order to be able to apply for the Visa. Honorary Consuls are not authorised to issue Visas but they can assist the delegate by contacting the Immigration Police to forward the Visa application and other relevant documents that might be required. Where there is no official Maltese representation in a country, the delegate should apply directly to the Immigration Police in Malta, with whom s/he should check all the requirements that are relevant to his/her passport.

Prospective delegates may obtain the required Visa Form for Entry into Malta by simply clicking the link below:
