Overview

The Malta Business Visa allows non-EU nationals residing in the UK to travel to Malta and the Schengen Area for business-related purposes, such as attending meetings, conferences, training sessions, or negotiating deals. This visa is suitable for professionals visiting Malta at the invitation of a company or organisation.

Applicants must have a confirmed invitation from a business entity in Malta. Those attending a seminar, workshop, or conference organised by their employer or a business directly connected to their employer may also apply under this category.

If there is no formal business invitation, the applicant must apply under the Tourist visa category.

  • Are travelling for official business, meetings, training, or active participation in work-related events.
