In the execution of the powers conferred by article 2 of the
Fees Ordinance, the Minister for Home Affairs, Law Enforcement and
National Security with the concurrence of the Minister of Finance
and Financial Services, has introduced certain specific new
regulations – Legal Notice 287 of 2020.
It is to be highlighted that for the purposes of these
regulations, a long-stay visa issued to a
third-country national shall be deemed valid for a
period not exceeding 365 days.
Moreover, said period cannot be less than
90 days.
Any relevant payable fees i.e. €70 for
study purposes and €100 for any other purpose, are to be paid
at the offices of a Consulate of Malta in any country where such a
representation is present or at an external service provider where
such provider is contracted or at the Central Visa Authority or at
the border crossing points, as the case may be.
