Current Travel Situation
Gabon to Malta: What You Need to Know
Malta is the smallest Schengen member state. Gabon citizens require a C-category short-stay Schengen visa. Malta has limited direct consular presence in Central Africa, so the French Embassy in Libreville is the most practical application route. Malta is a beautiful Mediterranean island with excellent diving, history, and warm weather.
How to Get There
From Libreville (LBV) to Malta (MLA) via Paris (CDG) on Air France and Ryanair or via Rome (FCO) on ITA Airways. Total journey is approximately 12 to 16 hours.
Money & Banking
Malta uses the Euro (EUR). Cards are widely accepted at hotels and restaurants. Cash is useful at smaller shops and markets. Budget 80 to 130 EUR per day. ATMs are available in Valletta and tourist areas.
