Malta visa — Togo passport

Documents requested

• Passport valid for at least 3 months after return from the Schengen area, with at least two blank pages, issued less than 10 years agoConditions and details

  The travel document must remain valid for at least three months after the planned date of departure from the Schengen area (or, in the case of several visits, after the last planned exit), have at least two blank pages and have been issued within the last ten years. The Maltese ministry formulates it as follows: the passport's expiry date must fall three months after the return from the Schengen State. A derogation is possible only in the case of a justified emergency.
• Schengen visa application form, completed legibly and signed by the applicantConditions and details

  Malta's embassies and consulates require a form completed entirely and legibly, signed by the applicant. The harmonised Schengen visa application form can be downloaded from the website of the Maltese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in English only or with Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian or Turkish.
• Identity photograph compliant with ICAO standardsConditions and details

  The Visa Code requires, when the application is submitted, a photograph compliant with international standards (ICAO document 9303). Malta's embassies specify that a digital image of the face is also taken at the appointment, with the face having to be clearly visible.
• Travel health insurance valid throughout the entire Schengen area for the whole duration of the stay, with coverage of at least 30 000 eurosConditions and details

  For a single- or double-entry visa, the applicant proves that they hold adequate and valid travel medical insurance covering the possible costs of repatriation for medical reasons, of emergency medical care, of emergency hospitalisation or of death. It is valid throughout the territory of the Member States and covers the entire duration of the intended stay, with minimum coverage of 30 000 euros. For a multiple-entry visa, it covers the first intended visit. The insurance is in principle taken out in the country of residence, and consulates verify that claims for reimbursement would be recoverable in a Member State. Holders of diplomatic passports are exempt from it, and the requirement may be deemed met for certain professional categories, such as seafarers.
• Supporting documents proving the purpose of the stayConditions and details

  The Maltese ministry indicates that the supporting documents requested serve first to demonstrate the purpose of the stay; the Visa Code provides for documents indicating the purpose of the journey. The detailed list is that of the mission handling the application.
• Proof of accommodation for the entire duration of the stay, or evidence of sufficient resources to pay for itConditions and details

  The Maltese ministry lists accommodation for the duration of the stay among the usual supporting documents; the Visa Code also accepts, instead, proof of sufficient means to cover accommodation costs. The form of the supporting document appears in the list of the mission handling the application.
• Supporting documents showing sufficient means of subsistence for the duration of the stay and for the return to the country of origin or residenceConditions and details

  The applicant proves sufficient means of subsistence during the intended stay and for the return to their country of origin or residence, or the possibility of lawfully acquiring such means. The mission indicates the accepted supporting documents.
• Elements showing the intention to leave the Schengen area before the visa expires (ties in the country of residence)Conditions and details

  The Maltese ministry cites proof of the intention to return to the country of residence at the end of the stay; the Visa Code speaks of information making it possible to assess the applicant's intention to leave the territory of the Member States before the visa expires.

Depending on your situation

• Collection of biometric data at the appointment (facial image and ten fingerprints), except reuse of fingerprints recorded less than 59 months agoConditions and details

  Malta's embassies collect biometric data during the appointment: facial image taken with a digital device and fingerprints captured with a scanner. On a first application, the applicant appears in person. If their fingerprints were recorded in the Visa Information System less than 59 months ago, they are reused; children under 12 are exempt from fingerprints. The questionnaire does not collect this information: the condition must be verified by the applicant.
• Valid residence permit of the country of filing, for the foreign applicant who legally resides thereConditions and details

  The applicant files the application with the Maltese mission of the country where they reside. They may not file it in another country unless they hold a valid residence permit there. The questionnaire does not collect the residence permit: the condition must be verified by the applicant.
