VISA ADVICE FOR MALTESE NATIONALS

NOTIFICATION FROM

THE MINISTRY FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND TRADE PROMOTION

LAST UPDATE: 01 February 2019

Disclaimer:

The Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Trade Promotion is not responsible for the issuing of visas to Maltese nationals by foreign

states. Visa requirements for Maltese nationals going abroad are invariably subject to changes by host countries.

The Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Trade Promotion endeavours to provide information available to it at the time of submission

of the query. The information related to visa requirements contained in this document is only indicative, and is issued to assist

Maltese passport holders. The Ministry shall not be held responsible for any variance in the information provided.

The applicant may wish to double-check requirements independently of this service.

It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that enquiries are submitted well in advance of the planned date of

departure.

Information should be double-checked closer to the date of departure prior to travelling to countries that ordinarily do not require

a visa for Maltese passport holders.

A. General Information on visa free entry

• All travellers usually need a passport valid for at least 90 days following their departure date from countries, although this

requirement may vary. It is strongly recommended to travel with a 6 month-validity passport at all times.

• Most destinations require at least 2 free pages in any one passport, allowing for any necessary stamps upon arrival and departure.

• In accordance with European Union (EU) Legislation, all minors who are nationals of Malta are expected to hold their own passport

or National ID Card (where applicable) when departing from an EU Schengen state.

• It is the traveller’s duty to always confirm if a transit visa is required for any connections. It may be the case that countries en-

route to another destination require a separate transit visa.

B. Table I

• The following table shows a list of countries allowing visa-free entry to Maltese ordinary passport holders visiting for tourism

purposes, subject to certain conditions.

Maltese nationals are allowed to enter and reside in

Austria without requiring a visa. For stays of shorter or

longer than 90 days, registrations may need to be made

according to the law of the country before the expiration

of the 90 days. Carrying a Maltese valid Identity Card or

an ordinary passport valid for the duration of your

intended stay is sufficient as immigration police still

have a right to request proof that you enjoy Schengen

area rights, whilst should there be legal border checks,

then you will still require such a document. Flight service

providers will also require proof of identity. Given that

Australia

✓ (Some

conditions and extra

procedures apply)

http://www.immi.gov.au/Visas

Maltese nationals usually require an Electronic Travel

Authorisation (ETA – Subclass 601) prior to travelling to

Australia for tourism or business purposes for stays of

less than 90 days. This ETA is not a visa, but an obligatory

application which informs Australia’s Department for

Immigration and Border Protection of one’s arrival prior

to boarding the flight. An ETA allows activities such as

attending a conference, making business enquiries, or

contractual negotiations, however, it is not a work visa.

https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/residence/documents-formalities/registering-residence/index_en.htm

http://www.immi.gov.au/Visas

The link to an ETA (subclass 601) application, may not

be currently open to Maltese passport holders for

technical reasons given that the web-link of the

Australian Immigration authority may be limiting the

ETA’s use to holders of passports from Brunei, Canada,

Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea,

and the U.S.A.:-

https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/visa-1/601-

For this reason, it is currently being suggested by the

Australian High Commission that Maltese passport

holders make use of other options for short stays of less

than 90 days, such as the E-Visitor Visa (Sub-class 651)

which allows you to visit Australia as often as you wish

in a 12-month period, with a stay of up to 3 months each

time you enter Australia.

https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-

visa/visa-finder/visit

For visits of longer than 90 days for tourism or

business, one will require a Visa. Please follow this link

Maltese Passport holders are exempt from applying for

However, as of 15 March 2016, all travellers (including

diplomatic and official passport holders), transiting

through a Canadian airport or visiting Canada, are

obliged to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization

(eTA) prior to travelling.

This change does not affect individuals entering Canada

at a land-border crossing, nor at a marine-port-of-entry.

Lawful permanent residents of the United States will also

need an eTA if flying or transiting through Canada.

Information on this new requirement and instructions

on how to apply for an eTA may be found on

Under French law, EU citizens and their family members

are not required to report their presence on arrival in

France. This means they don't have to make a statement

of any kind to the authorities.

https://mt.ambafrance.org/



All EU citizens with a valid passport or identity document

are entitled to enter France and spend a period of time

there - regardless of the reason for the visit, e.g.

▪ tourism

▪ training course

▪ internship

▪ short-term employment.

They are, however, expected to have sufficient resources

to cover their needs (and those of any accompanying

family members) during their stay.
