Malta

Yes. Nepali students can apply to recognized Maltese education providers and, for long-term courses, need the appropriate national visa and residence permission under Malta’s current student rules.

Non-EU students enrolled in qualifying long courses generally use a national D visa before travel and then complete the applicable residence-permit process in Malta. The exact route depends on course duration and qualification level.

Identità advises long-course students to apply well before the course start; current guidance recommends at least eight weeks before travel/course commencement and allows applications several months in advance. Check the latest appointment and checklist rules.

Malta providers may offer autumn, winter and rolling intakes depending on the institution. KB Education’s current planning includes selected October/November 2026 and January–April 2027 options, but exact availability must be provider-confirmed.

Requirements depend on the provider, MQF level and program. Institutions assess previous qualifications, relevant subjects, English proficiency and any program-specific criteria.

Not universally. Providers set their own English-entry rules and may accept different recognized evidence. Visa/residence authorities may also expect the applicant to meet the course’s language requirement.

The checklist can include passport, acceptance/enrolment evidence, proof of payment, accommodation, financial evidence, insurance and other documents required by Identità/VFS. Always use the current checklist for your course duration and level.

Malta applies specific financial-capacity rules at visa and residence-permit stages. The calculation can be linked to national wage/income benchmarks and can change, so use the current Identità checklist rather than a fixed old euro amount.

Insurance is part of the student visa/residence framework, and required coverage/duration can depend on the course and stage of the process. Use the current Identità student checklist before buying a policy.

Students may be allowed to work part-time up to 20 hours per week once the required employment licence/work authorization is issued. When work can start and which students qualify depend on course level and residence basis, so do not begin work without confirmation.

No. Current rules distinguish course levels and permit types. Some students may only work after the first three months, while eligible higher-education students under the relevant residence provisions can have different timing; an employment licence is still required.

A student permission is primarily for study and normally limits work to part-time employment. Full-time employment requires the appropriate work/residence status and should not be started on student conditions.

Identità currently describes a one-off post-study residence window of up to nine months for eligible graduates to seek employment or arrange a change of status. It is not an automatic work permit and current conditions must be checked at graduation.

A switch can be possible after completing studies if the student qualifies for the relevant employment and residence process. The employer/work-permit requirements must be completed; a student visa alone does not authorize full-time work.

Family reunification or dependent routes have separate eligibility and residence requirements and are not automatic for every student. Check the current Identità rules based on course level, residence duration and family relationship.

Complete the applicable Nepal NOC process before overseas study and education-related foreign exchange. This is separate from Malta’s acceptance, D-visa and residence-permit procedures.

Use Identità Malta for official immigration/student rules and the VFS Global Malta–Nepal channel where it handles local submission services. Avoid relying on social-media screenshots for current visa requirements.

Review the refusal grounds and any available review/reapplication instructions. Correct the specific issue—such as finance, accommodation, insurance, course credibility or documents—before making a new application.

Check provider recognition, MQF level, course duration, progression value, total tuition, refund policy, work eligibility and whether the program supports your academic goal. Do not select a course only because it appears to offer a visa route.

KB Education can help review the program/provider fit, organize admission documents and prepare a checklist for the current Identità/VFS process and Nepal NOC. Final admission and visa/residence decisions remain with the provider and Maltese authorities.

No. Work is limited and requires authorization, and students should have credible funding for tuition and living costs before travel.

No. Acceptance is required for study, but Identità/visa authorities separately assess finance, accommodation, insurance, documents and immigration eligibility.
