Malta Student Visa — Document Checklist (from Bangladesh)

Use this checklist when preparing your application to submit at the VFS / Malta Central Visa Unit. Originals and certified copies are usually required — keep everything organized in the order below.

1. Application & ID

• Completed & signed Malta Visa application form (National long-stay student visa).
• Valid passport (at least 10–12 months validity recommended; minimum 2 blank pages).
• VFS appointment confirmation / submission receipt.
• Passport-size photo (ICAO specification).

2. Proof of Admission / Course

• Official acceptance / admission letter from the Maltese institution (must include full course name, MQF level, ECTS, duration, study hours and address as per MFHEA registration).
• Course timetable and details (if provided by the college/university).

3. Financial Evidence

• Bank statements (typically last 3–6 months) showing sufficient funds to cover tuition and living costs. Statements should be bank-stamped/signed if requested.
• Proof of tuition fee payment (receipt or deposit confirmation) if already paid.
• Sponsor letter and sponsor bank statements / income proof (if someone sponsors you).

4. Accommodation & Travel

• Proof of accommodation in Malta (rental agreement, university housing confirmation or booking showing name & address).
• Flight reservation / itinerary (return ticket if the course is short or requested).

5. Health & Insurance

• Travel/medical insurance covering the Schengen Area for the stay (minimum cover usually around €30,000; check your insurer certificate).
• Medical certificate / test results if required by the embassy (some agents mention chest X-ray / general medical checks).

6. Academic & Language Documents

• Original certificates and transcripts (secondary / higher secondary / degree as applicable). Some authorities ask for these to be certified / apostilled depending on the course.
• English language proof (IELTS/TOEFL) if required by the institution.

7. Police & Civil Documents

• Police clearance certificate / good conduct (if requested).
• Birth certificate, marriage certificate (if applicable) — certified copies.

8. Supporting Letters & Misc

• Cover letter explaining purpose of stay, course details, duration and funding plan.
• Any previous visa copies (if you have travelled earlier).
• Proof of ties to Bangladesh (optional but helpful — e.g., family, employment letter, property).

9. Fees & Submission

• Visa fee and VFS service fee (payable as per VFS Bangladesh instructions — fees shown on the VFS Bangladesh portal; non-refundable if refused).
• Make copies of every submitted document and keep originals for interview/arrival.

Tips: Submit applications well in advance (the embassy/VFS guidance typically recommends several weeks — often 6–12 weeks before course start). Follow the exact document formatting requested by the Malta Central Visa Unit / VFS for Bangladesh.
