Visas

As of January 2008 Malta became a member of the Shenghen states. Students who require a Visa to enter Malta must apply at the Maltese Embassy in their own country. In the case where there is no Maltese Embassy in their country, the application may be made at a representative diplomatic mission of Italy or Austria.

It is of the utmost importance that if a Visa is required to enter Malta, when you confirm a booking with ESE you must include your Passport number, Passport Date of Issue, Passport Date of Expiry in the booking request sent to ESE, so that we may issue the relative Letter of Acceptance immediately and send it with all the documents confirming the reservation.

Please be informed that if the above details are not all included with the application, the booking procedure may take a while longer to be confirmed or the booking may eventually have to be cancelled.
 

Chinese students are required to apply for their Visa to Malta at the Maltese Embassy in Beijing. A complete application includes an Acceptance Letter, Confirmation Letter and a Pro-forma invoice which can only be issued once the booking is confirmed.

It usually takes 10 working days for the Embassy to approve a Visa application. As soon as the entry Visa is approved you should inform ESE accordingly and you should send your flight details together with the payment. Your reservation cannot be honoured unless full payment is received by ESE prior to arrival.

As well, the Embassy of Malta in Beijing requires proof of payment from ESE before you can collect your Visa from the Embassy.
