Visas for Malta, without the guesswork

Short stays in Malta run on the shared Schengen rules — one C visa (or none, for exempt passports) covers all 29 countries. Everything else is national: where you apply, who runs the centres, and every stay over 90 days.

How Malta takes applications

Good to know about Malta

• Malta's Nomad Residence Permit (digital nomads) is run by Residency Malta with a €42,000/year income threshold — applications are online, separate from the visa system.
• As an island state, Malta scrutinises onward/return travel especially closely for short stays.

Staying longer than 90 days

Long stays use national D visas; residence permits are issued by Identità (formerly Identity Malta). The Nomad Residence Permit targets remote workers.
