With a Malta Tourist Visa, you can stay for up to 90 days within a total period of 180 days. This means you cannot stay more than 90 days in any 6-month period. The 90 days can be used continuously or divided into multiple trips, depending on your visa type. You must leave Malta and the Schengen Area before your allowed stay ends. Staying longer than permitted can result in fines, visa rejection in the future, or travel restrictions.
