VISA ADVICE FOR MALTESE NATIONALS

NOTIFICATION FROM

THE MINISTRY FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND TRADE PROMOTION

LAST UPDATE: 01 May 2020

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.

Maltese Public Officers travelling abroad on official duty should always contact the Ministry’s Consular Services Directorate at least 3

to 4 weeks prior to planned departure since visa requirements for official duty may vary from visa requirements for leisurely or business

visits regardless of the list below.

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.

Countries not visible in the list below generally require a visa.

Maltese nationals may wish to send an e-mail to [email protected] or phone on 2204 2313 or 22042331 to enquire about their

position.

and extra procedures

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.

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.

Maltese nationals are allowed visa free entry for a

maximum of 90 days’ stay within a 180-day period using

either a valid Maltese Identity Card or an ordinary

passport valid for the duration of stay. Given that no

outward flight booking is required to be shown by EU

nationals when entering, it is suggested that in the

absence of such outward flight booking, the passport or

ID card be valid for at least 90 days beyond the date of

entry into the country.

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

Information on this new requirement and instructions on

An eTA is linked to the passport or travel document

entered on the application, and that the passport used

to apply for an eTA must be the document used for

travel to Canada. If a person holds more than one valid

passport (such as a diplomatic passport in addition to a

regular passport), an eTA may be obtained for both

travel documents if both will be used for air travel to

Once approved, your eTA is valid for five years or until
