Student visa and entry requirements
Identità says the main study residence route covers third-country nationals accepted to a full-time course at an institution licensed by Malta's Further and Higher Education Authority (MFHEA), leading to a qualification recognised at Malta Qualifications Framework (MQF) level 5 or higher. Visa-required students must hold an education-purpose visa before travel and apply for residence in Malta; lower-level courses have separate rules. Verify your exact course and entry route with Identità and the institution.
