Current Travel Situation
Cuba to Malta: What You Need to Know
Malta is a Schengen Area member island nation in the Mediterranean. It does not have an embassy in Cuba, so Cuban nationals must apply through the Maltese embassy accredited to Cuba or a Schengen state that represents Malta for visa purposes in the region, such as Italy.
Malta is the smallest EU member state but punches above its weight as a tourist destination, offering a unique blend of Mediterranean history (Valletta is a UNESCO World Heritage capital), diving, and warm climate. A Schengen visa for Malta allows travel across all 27 Schengen countries.
Cuban applicants should confirm the specific application channel for Maltese Schengen visas through the Maltese Ministry of Foreign Affairs website.
Practical Tips
Malta is a small island; Valletta, Mdina, and the Blue Lagoon at Comino are must-sees. Summer (July-August) is peak season and very hot. Spring and autumn offer pleasant conditions for sightseeing.
