What is the Malta Long-stay Visa?
The Malta Long-stay Visa is also known as a National Visa. It allows you to stay in Malta for a period longer than three months – which is the standard amount of time allowed for a normal visit.
In addition to a long-stay visa, foreign employees will also need a work permit to work there. This is known as an Employment Licence, or a Malta Work Permit. Below you will find the entry requirements for Malta.
Why would you want one?
The National Long-stay Visa – also referred to as the D Visa or National Visa – is used by migrants who wish to work or study in Malta.
Malta Long-stay Visas, when used in conjunction with Employee Licences, are also beneficial to UK businesses. If you own a company and you’re planning to expand operations to Malta, you’ll need to ensure the employees you relocate there are able to work with the right work visas in place.
