Why Students Choose Malta

  • English is an official language, used widely in teaching and daily life.
  • A small, walkable island setting — easier to settle into than a sprawling big city.
  • A growing range of English-taught undergraduate and postgraduate programs, including business, hospitality and IT.
  • EU membership shapes the academic and regulatory environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

These answers cover general information. For guidance specific to your situation, eligibility, and documents, book a free consultation with our team.

What type of visa do I need to study in Malta? +
Non-EU students studying in Malta for more than 90 days need a Type D National Long-Stay Visa. Once you arrive, this converts into a residence permit. The exact application process depends on your program, university, and intake window — our team handles this from start to finish.
Do I need to know Maltese or Italian to study in Malta? +
No. The vast majority of programs at Malta's universities — including MCAST and the University of Malta — are taught entirely in English. You will need to meet the university's English proficiency requirement, but Maltese or Italian are not required.
Can I work while studying in Malta? +
International students in Malta are generally permitted to work part-time during their studies. The specific rules — including hours per week and whether it applies from day one — depend on your visa category and enrollment status. This is something our advisors will go through with you in detail.
How long does the Malta visa process usually take? +
Processing typically takes 4–8 weeks from the point all documents are correctly submitted. Starting early is important — delays often happen because of missing or incorrectly prepared paperwork, not the visa authority itself.
What English proficiency score is required? +
IELTS (or equivalent) is required, with the minimum score depending on your specific program and university. Some universities also accept internal English proficiency tests. Your Eduvisa advisor will confirm the exact requirement for the course you are targeting.
Does Eduvisa support me after I arrive in Malta? +
Yes — and this is one of the key differences between Eduvisa and other consultancies. Our support does not stop at the visa. We help with housing guidance, initial settling-in steps, and stay connected through your first weeks in Malta.
