Study Visa for Malta

Anyone wishing to study in Malta who isn't a citizen of the EU/EEA or Switzerland must obtain a visa. You might be able to enroll in a brief study course (no longer than three months) if you are not required to obtain a Schengen visa. Every non-EU/EEA/Swiss national requires a Malta student visa for full-time degree programs like BA and MA, which are greater than three months.

Here is the application process for applying for applying for a student visa for Malta-

You must get in touch with the Maltese embassy, consulatant agency(who can help you through the process and mitigates your visa rejection chances), or visa application office in your nation to obtain a student visa to Malta.
Make a time in your calendar to submit your visa application.
Gather all the paperwork needed to apply for a student visa in Malta.
Bring the application form, complete fee payment, and any additional required documentation at the time of your appointment.
Make absolutely sure to completely cover out the application form and sign it at the bottom.
You will hear back from the embassy regarding your visa application process via email or text message within a period of four weeks.

A Maltese student visa takes four weeks to be processed. The processing time might be even longer, 8–9 weeks, depending on the circumstances and when you apply. The processing period begins the day your application is received by the consulate or embassy. The embassy will send you a notification with its decision regarding your visa.

A student visa from Malta can be obtained for up to 365 days. You should indeed apply for a residence permit once you arrive in Malta if your course of study will last longer than one academic year. For the full span of your studies, the residence permit may also be extended.

Post-Study Work Permit in Malta

Foreign students from outside the EU who wish to stay in the country after their studies are completed must switch to a different category of the permit, which calls for employer endorsement deals. You are allowed to work during your studies with a student permit, so take advantage of this opportunity to expand your social circle and gain work experience.

If a non-EU citizen wants to work in Malta, they must apply for an employment license. The employer is required to submit a license application on your behalf. You must register as a prospective employee by completing an ETC 35 form prior to beginning your job hunt.

This does not ensure that you'll be employed or that you're going to receive a license to work because only the recruiter can do this. The employer must be capable to demonstrate that neither an applicant from the EU, EEA, Switzerland, or Malta is qualified to fulfill the position. You could also send in your application in person, but increasing your possibility would only do good for you.

Documents required for a work permit -

Application form
Curriculum vitae
Summary of the position
references and endorsements
A passport photo, a copy of the itinerary, and a visa that is still valid
Copies of accreditation/recognition documents and qualification certificates
Employer's cover letter including the location of the job
