Travellers residing in the UK who are not UK passport holders may need a Schengen visa to visit Malta. While UK nationals enjoy visa-free travel for short stays, many foreign residents require a Type C Schengen visitor visa to enter Malta for tourism, business, family visits, or leisure travel. Malta, being part of the Schengen zone, also allows visa holders to travel freely across all Schengen countries.

📄 Documents Required for UK Applicants
To apply from the UK, you must provide a passport with at least six months of validity beyond your travel dates along with a valid UK residence permit. Supporting documentation includes confirmed flight tickets, verified hotel bookings or an invitation letter from your host, and recent bank statements showing sufficient financial means for the trip. Proof of employment or study, a completed Schengen visa application form, travel insurance with coverage of at least €30,000, and compliant biometric photographs are also mandatory. Depending on your situation, additional documents may be requested to support your travel intent.
📝 A Smooth and Professional Application Journey
The application begins by gathering and organising all required documents according to Schengen guidelines. Once your file is prepared, you must schedule an appointment at VFS Global or the authorised Malta visa centre in the UK. During your appointment, you will submit your documents, provide biometric data, and address any questions from visa officers. After submission, the embassy reviews your file, verifies your travel purpose, checks your financial background, and evaluates your overall eligibility. Once approved, your passport is returned with the visa stamped inside.
⏳ Processing Time & Visa Validity
Processing for Malta visas generally takes 10 to 15 working days from the UK. The visa usually allows stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period, and may be issued for single-entry or multiple-entry depending on your travel history, documentation strength, and overall profile.
