Entry requirements for Malta
| Passport validity | 3 months months beyond departure — Schengen rules: non-EU passports must be valid at least 3 months after the date of departure from Malta/the Schengen area and issued within the previous 10 years; the 3-month rule does not apply to holders of a Schengen-issued residence permit or long-stay visa. |
|---|---|
| Onward ticket | Often checked — Schengen entry conditions: border officials may require documents substantiating the purpose and conditions of stay and sufficient means for the visit and for return/onward travel; a return or round-trip ticket may be requested. |
| Yellow fever | Certificate required only when arriving from risk countries — >12h airport transit in a risk country also triggers the requirement (per WHO Annex 1 footnote 5; the earlier WHO ITH country list instead stated transit passengers were exempt and that unvaccinated infants under 9 months from risk areas may be subject to isolation or surveillance). |
| Exemption | Holders of valid visa or residence permit issued by a Schengen area country: visa free, up to 90 days — Allows travel to Malta and within the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period; Schengen residence permit / long-stay visa holders are also exempt from the 3-month passport validity rule. |
