💡 Important Tips

  • One Schengen visa lets you enter via Malta and travel all 29 Schengen countries on the same visa.
  • Allow around 15 days for Malta — apply 4–6 weeks before you fly.
  • Keep your bank balance healthy — ₹3–5 lakh is a safe range for most short-stay visas.
  • Show strong ties to India (stable job, property, family) — the biggest approval lever.
  • Book refundable flights and hotels until the visa is approved.
  • Buy travel insurance before your embassy / VFS appointment.
  • Carry originals plus photocopies to VFS, and never give false or inconsistent information.
