Student Visas for Malta

Are you from Bangladesh? You might need a student visa...

Don't worry, everything is ok. We're on it, and we're doing all we can to make your search for the right international degree in Malta a little easier and more enjoyable. Still, while we’re catching up, you can always beat us to it and:

• Check if you really need a student visa.
  Since you're from Bangladesh and planning full-time academic study in Malta  yes, you’ll definitely need a long-stay (D-type) student visa.

• Start exploring the official website of the Maltese Embassy.
  For Bangladeshi applicants, the Embassy of Malta in India (New Delhi) handles student visas. That’s where all the latest and most reliable information lives. Bookmark it, read it, reread it.

• Check the deadlines.
  The visa process can take several weeks, and missing a step or delaying your appointment could mean missing the start of your semester. Not the kind of plot twist you want.

• Go on a paperwork treasure hunt.
  Passport?
  Letter of acceptance from a Maltese institution?
  Visa application form, proof of accommodation, bank statements, health insurance, academic transcripts… yes, the list is long. And yes, you’ll need every single piece.

• Start saving up.
  You’ll need to show you can financially support yourself while studying in Malta. That means proving you can cover tuition, living expenses, travel, and maybe even your weekend coffees in Valletta.

• Boost your English skills.
  Even if you’ve already taken IELTS, TOEFL, or the Duolingo English Test  it never hurts to keep improving. Strong English skills help at your visa interview and make life in Malta so much easier.

All in all, getting your Malta student visa might feel like a lot but it’s one big step toward an even bigger adventure.

Thanks and good luck!
