Overview

About the Malta visa for Indians

Malta is a Mediterranean island nation where English is an official language, which makes it an easy European trip for many Indians. Highlights include Valletta's baroque streets and St John's Co-Cathedral, the silent walled city of Mdina, the turquoise Blue Lagoon on Comino and the rugged cliffs of Gozo. As Malta is in the Schengen Area, Indian citizens need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa allowing up to 90 days in any 180-day period, with biometrics given at Malta's authorised visa application centre in India. There are no direct flights from India, so you will usually connect through a Gulf, Turkish or European hub.

Audvik reviews your documents, completes your application and books the appointment. We plan flights with sensible connections, book hotels, arrange insurance and explain how transit through another Schengen airport affects your trip.

Malta visa FAQs

Do Indians need a visa to visit Malta?

Yes. Malta is a Schengen member, so Indian passport holders need a Schengen short-stay visa to visit. It covers up to 90 days in any 180-day period and also allows travel to other Schengen countries, as long as Malta is your main destination.

There are generally no direct flights, so most travellers connect through a Gulf hub, Istanbul or a European city. If your connection is in a Schengen airport, you will clear immigration there. Audvik can suggest routes with comfortable connection times.

Short English courses of up to 90 days can usually be taken on a Schengen short-stay visa, with an enrolment letter from the school. Longer courses need a national visa, which has stricter requirements. Check the latest rules with the Maltese authorities before you enrol.

Short-stay applications are usually decided within about 15 calendar days, although processing can take longer during summer or if extra documents are requested. Apply at least a month before travel, and not more than six months in advance.

Yes. Audvik can book your flights, hotels in Valletta, Sliema or Gozo, ferry and tour arrangements and travel insurance, and prepare your visa file around those bookings. You get one point of contact for the whole trip.
