Visa and e-residence permit

We recommend that you familiarise yourself well with the Visa and e-Residence permit requirements and procedures that you will need to follow in order to arrive and stay in Malta.

A Visa is the official permission, which temporarily authorises individuals to travel to a foreign country so you need to check whether you are required to apply for a visa in order to travel to Malta. Further information is available below.

An e-Residence Permit on the other hand is the document that you will require to reside in Malta if your study visa does not cover your entire study period in Malta. Following arrival and registration at the University, all international students who are planning to stay for one academic year or more should apply for an e-Residence Permit. This permit will serve as an Identity card and will allow you to travel within the Schengen Area, together with a valid passport. Further information on the e-Residence permit application procedure is available below.

The information below applies to prospective and current students of the University of Malta (UM).
