Yes. Malta is a Schengen member and Thai passport holders must apply for a Schengen Type C visa at the Maltese Embassy in Bangkok or through VFS Global. The fee is EUR 80.

Summer (July to August) is hot but offers vibrant beach and nightlife scenes. Winter is mild but some smaller island facilities may be closed.

Valletta (the smallest EU capital, a UNESCO World Heritage City with St. John's Co-Cathedral), the Azure Window in Gozo (it collapsed in 2017 but Gozo's scenery remains stunning), the Blue Lagoon on Comino Island, the ancient Megalithic Temples (Hagar Qim, older than Stonehenge), and diving in Malta's crystal-clear waters are the highlights.
