Current Travel Situation
Moldova to Malta: What You Need to Know
Malta is an EU and Schengen member state, fully covered by the EU-Moldova Visa Liberalisation Agreement. Its warm climate, English-speaking population, and rich history make it a particularly attractive destination for Moldovan travellers and students.
Malta is a popular destination for English-language study among Eastern Europeans, including Moldovans. Short-term language courses are common among younger Moldovan travellers who use the visa-free 90-day window.
The Maltese archipelago consists of Malta, Gozo, and Comino. Valletta, the capital, is the smallest EU capital by area and a UNESCO World Heritage City.
Practical Tips
Malta has an extensive English-language school industry; many Moldovans combine tourism with a short language course. Driving is on the left (British influence). The island is small but has excellent bus connections. Book accommodation early in summer as it fills quickly. The Blue Lagoon on Comino requires a boat trip and is extremely popular in July and August.
