Current Travel Situation
Venezuela to Malta: What You Need to Know
Malta joined the Schengen Area in 2007 and is covered by Venezuela's bilateral visa waiver agreements. The Maltese archipelago (Malta, Gozo, Comino) is a popular Mediterranean destination known for its prehistoric temples, baroque capital Valletta, and crystal-clear waters. Malta also has a large English-language education sector, attracting students from around the world. The 90-day Schengen limit applies.
How to Get There
For stays beyond 90 days, contact Identita Malta (formerly Immigration Police) or apply for a Malta long-stay visa at the Maltese Embassy through Italian diplomatic channels (Italy handles some Maltese consular services in South America).
Money & Banking
Malta uses the Euro (EUR). Card payments are widely accepted in Valletta and tourist areas. ATMs are available throughout the island. Malta is moderately priced compared to Western Europe.
Practical Tips
Malta's peak season is summer (June to September). The Blue Lagoon in Comino requires advance booking in summer. English is an official language, making communication easy. Gozo (connected by ferry) is quieter and more scenic than the main island. Malta is also popular with English-language learners as a study destination.
