Is a Tourist Visa for Malta Necessary for U.S. Citizens?

In 2007, Malta became one of the member countries of the Schengen area, which allows U.S. citizens to enter its countries without a visa. This means that you won’t need a visa for traveling to Malta touristically and staying for up to three months. All you need is a valid U.S. passport.

If you want to enjoy this country’s sites for more than three months, you have to apply for a Maltese Schengen Visa.

Malta Tourist Visa Requirements

Before applying for a Maltese Schengen Visa, you should confirm that you:

Comply with the visa application criteria provided by the Maltese Embassy
