Malta primarily is associated with resorts, old architecture, and beautiful nature. Most of the sights are concentrated in the capital of Malta – Valletta: The Palace of the Grand Master, Casa Rocca Piccola, The Church of St. Paul's Shipwreck, and many others. Native people speak Maltese. By the way, an interesting fact about the Maltese – it is the Semitic with the Latin alphabet. However, communication in English (the second official language) is ordinary for them. There is a huge number of language courses and schools there. Besides the language, learning students often enter one of the oldest European universities – the University of Malta for baccalaureate's and master's degrees.
Many Russian students choose Malta for their education because of the loyal visa regime. Getting a visa to Malta is so much easier than, for example, to other countries of the Schengen agreement. The cost of education here, also, is about 30-40% lower than in other English-speaking countries.
As for the employment in Malta, most vacancies are concentrated in the tourism and service industry due to the specifics of this island state. More recently, IT specialists have increased demand. Many IT companies choose this country because of relatively low taxes (compared to other EU countries). Startup projects are also popular in Malta.
If you decide to study or work in Malta you need to prepare your documents properly. The following documents are required (the list may vary, we recommend checking the list at the place of submission):
- International and internal passports
- Insurance certificate

- Certificate from a university
- Employment certificate
- Notarized consent to the departure
- Birth, marriage, and other certificates from a registry office
- A diploma or high school certificate

In 1968 Malta became a part of the Hague Convention, which established the legalization of documents according to a simplified scheme by a stamp "Apostille". Contact our center for legalization and translation for apostille documents for Malta. We will help you. Please, pay your attention that the apostille has some territorial feature. Therefore it has to be affixed at the place of documents issuance. For example, you received a marriage certificate in one of the registry offices of St. Petersburg, therefore, the apostille on the original has to be stamped in St. Petersburg.
The cost of the stamp "Apostille" is given in the table below:
