Malta: wat je moet weten voor vertrek
Het belangrijkste
- Drive on the left.
- Allow extra time for Schengen external-border checks.
Inreis en visa
Malta follows Schengen short-stay rules: visa-exempt visitors share a 90-day allowance in any 180 days across the area. EES biometric registration takes place at external borders; it is not an online pre-arrival application. ETIAS is not operating; official diplomatic updates expect 2027, with no fixed launch date.
Geldigheid paspoort: Non-EU short-stay visitors: issued within the previous 10 years and valid at least 3 months after planned Schengen departure.
Aan de grens kan worden gevraagd naar
- Carry evidence of accommodation, onward travel and funds; allow time for external border checks.
