## Overview

Malta visa applications from India are submitted at VFS Global and decided by the High Commission of Malta in New Delhi; visa queries must be addressed to VFS, not the High Commission. Applications can be made up to 6 months in advance; VFS recommends applying at least 4 weeks before departure. Applicants' photographs and biometrics are captured at the VFS centre; documents must be submitted in person (original + copy), with a copy of PAN card and Aadhaar card. Maltese/EU/EEA family members needing a visa may write to visa.newdelhi@gov.mt for an appointment. Long-stay work permit applications through the Extended Service require a valid Approval in Principle (AIP) letter from Identity Malta before booking. Malta's foreign ministry says multiple-entry visas are generally granted to applicants who have previously held and used Schengen visas on multiple occasions.

## Visa on arrival, eVisa and visa-free entry

- **Visa on arrival:** Not available: India is on the EU list of countries whose nationals need a visa (Annex I of Regulation 2018/1806, which Malta's foreign ministry points applicants to), so Indians must get a Schengen short-stay (C) visa before travelling, applied for through VFS Global in India for the Malta High Commission in New Delhi.
- **eVisa / online visa:** Not available: there is no online-only Malta visa for Indians. Applications are lodged at a VFS Global centre in India after booking an appointment (visa fee paid when booking), and biometrics (photo and fingerprints) are collected in person at the appointment.
- **Visa-free entry:** Not available: India is on the EU visa-required list (Annex I, Regulation 2018/1806), so Indians need a Schengen short-stay (C) visa before travelling to Malta; it allows stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period (VFS India).
