→ Vatican City visa for Maltese citizens

As a Maltese passport holder, you can enjoy visa-free entry to Vatican City, allowing for stays of up to 90 days without the need for a visa fee, a significant benefit compared to many other European travel arrangements. While no visa is required, remember that Vatican City is a sovereign state, so carrying your passport is essential for identification, especially as English is widely understood by tourist-facing staff, though Italian is the official language. Most travelers reach the Vatican via Rome, a short flight from Malta, and can then easily travel into the heart of the city by public transport or on foot, making it an accessible destination for a day trip or longer exploration.
