VISA ADVICE FOR MALTESE NATIONALS NOTIFICATION FROM THE MINISTRY FOR FOREIGN AND EUROPEAN AFFAIRS LAST UPDATE: 01 February 2020 Disclaimer: The Ministry for Foreign and European Affairs is not responsible for the issuing of visas to Maltese nationals by foreign states. Visa requirements for Maltese nationals going abroad are invariably subject to changes by host countries. The Ministry for Foreign and European Affairs endeavours to provide information available to it at the time of submission of the query. The information related to visa requirements contained in this document is only indicative, and is issued to assist Maltese passport holders. The Ministry shall not be held responsible for any variance in the information provided. The applicant may wish to double-check requirements independently of this service. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that enquiries are submitted well in advance of the planned date of departure. Information should be double-checked closer to the date of departure prior to travelling to countries that ordinarily do not require a visa for Maltese passport holders. Maltese Public Officers travelling abroad on official duty should always contact the Ministry’s Consular Services Directorate at least 3 to 4 weeks prior to planned departure since visa requirements for official duty may vary from visa requirements for leisurely or business visits regardless of the list below. A. General Information on visa free entry • All travellers usually need a passport valid for at least 90 days following their departure date from countries, although this requirement may vary. It is strongly recommended to travel with a 6 month-validity passport at all times. • Most destinations require at least 2 free pages in any one passport, allowing for any necessary stamps upon arrival and departure. • In accordance with European Union (EU) Legislation, all minors who are nationals of Malta are expected to hold their own passport or National ID Card (where applicable) when departing from an EU Schengen state. It is the traveller’s duty to always confirm if a transit visa is required for any connections. It may be the case that countries en-route to another destination require a separate transit visa. Countries not visible in the list below generally require a visa. Maltese nationals may wish to send an e-mail to [email protected] or phone on 2204 2313 or 22042331 to enquire about their position.

    Caribbean Citizenship by Investment Schemes

    Temple Chambers 3-7 Temple Avenue London EC4Y 0HP United Kingdom (Tel) +44 (0) 20 7583 8739 Website: www.caribbean-council.org Caribbean citizenship by investment schemes A number of Caribbean countries offer citizenship for investment schemes whereby passports are provided for an investment in real estate or a donation with little or no requirement to reside in the country. St Kitts has the oldest scheme dating from 1984; Antigua, Dominica and Grenada also offer them; and other Caribbean islands have been considering them. Caribbean Governments facing difficult economic challenges see the schemes as a new source of income; property and other developers are using them to raise capital for new schemes; and wealthy individuals from around the world see the advantage in owning a passport which gives them visa-free travel to many countries. However, Governments in North America and Europe are beginning to look more closely at the Caribbean’s citizenship for investment schemes, after a small but growing number of incidents have raised concerns about who passports are being issued to and the robustness of due diligence checks on applicants. In May this year, the US Treasury issued an advisory on the St Kitts citizenship scheme due to concerns that some are using the scheme for money laundering. Most recently, the Canadian Government announced that it would impose visas on all citizens from St Kitts-Nevis on 22 November 2014, due to its ‘concerns about the issuance of passports’ and ‘the identity management practices’ by the St Kitts authorities in relation to its Citizenship by Investment programme.

    'Not Enough Benches in the Pjazza': Forced Migrants, Integration, And

    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON University of Chichester ‘Not enough benches in the pjazza’: Forced Migrants, Integration, and Maltese Identity by Amanda Jane Muscat Moulton Thesis for the degree of Master of Philosophy February 2013 ABSTRACT Immigration to the European Union is on the rise and the island of Malta is no exception. During the last decade, Malta has had one of the highest rates per capita in Europe of forced migrants arriving in an irregular manner. These forced migrants, and other sub-Saharan Africans that have migrated to Malta through regular channels, are forming a growing ethnic minority of sub-Saharan Africans in Malta. This dissertation analyses how sub-Saharan African immigrants are integrating at the community level, and how this is challenging the Maltese identity, by exploring the social interactions between the established population and immigrants, especially forced migrants. Including the perspectives of African Maltese and established African immigrants brings a new perspective to the discussion of immigrant integration in Malta since EU immigrant integration polices are particularly targeting them. This qualitative study utilizes semi-structured interviews and participant observation with sub-Saharan African immigrants (both established immigrants and forced migrants), Maltese local councillors, and local experts in the field of migration. The fact that the researcher is both a cultural ‘insider’ and ‘outsider’, gives this dissertation an alternative and unique perspective on the phenomenon of social integration in Malta. This research found that the Maltese are not actively seeking ways to integrate with the newly arrived forced migrants, which is resulting in a lack of social cohesion and fostering separation.

    How Much Does EU Citizenship Cost? the Maltese Citizenship-For-Sale Affair: a Breakthrough for Sincere Cooperation in Citizenship of the Union? Sergio Carrera

    How much does EU citizenship cost? The Maltese citizenship-for-sale affair: A breakthrough for sincere cooperation in citizenship of the union? Sergio Carrera No. 64/April 2014 Abstract How much does European citizenship cost in the EU? This was the question that has raised so much controversy over the Maltese citizenship-for-sale programme. The outright selling of Maltese nationality to rich foreigners led to unprecedented responses by the European Parliament and European Commission. This paper examines the affair and its relevance for current and future configurations of citizenship of the EU. It studies the extent to which member states are still free to lay down the grounds for the acquisition and loss of nationality without any EU supervision and accountability. It provides a comparative overview of member state schemes and the exact price for buying citizenship and a residency permit in the EU. It is argued that the EU’s intervention on the Maltese citizenship-for-sale affair constitutes a legal precedent for assessing the lawfulness of passport-for-sale or golden migration programmes in other EU member states. The affair has also revealed the increasing relevance of a set of European and international legal principles limiting member states’ discretion over citizenship matters and providing a supranational constellation of accountability venues scrutinising the impact of their decisions over citizenship of the Union. The Maltese citizenship-for-sale affair has placed at the forefront the EU general principle of sincere cooperation in nationality matters. Member states’ actions in the citizenship domain cannot negatively affect in substance the concept and freedoms of European citizenship.
