Malta is a party to the Schengen Agreement. This means that U.S. citizens traveling for tourism or business can apply to enter the Schengen area without a visa for up to 90 days within each 180 period. Your passport must be valid for at least three months beyond your intended date of departure from the Schengen area. We recommend that your passport be valid for at least six months whenever you travel abroad to avoid unintended travel disruptions. You need sufficient funds and a return airline ticket. For further details about travel into and within Schengen countries, please see our Schengen Fact Sheet.
