This means if you receive a Malta Tourist Visa, you can also travel to other Schengen countries during your trip. You do not need a separate visa for each country. However, Malta should be your main destination if you apply through Malta. You must follow the 90 days within 180 days rule while traveling in the Schengen region."

Staying longer than permitted can result in fines, visa rejection in the future, or travel restrictions."
