Portugal → Malta: Residence permit for the purpose of study

Whether you need a visa at all, according to official sources.

Checked by our automated verification on 20 Oct 2026: every source on this page resolves and the data is structurally complete. This does not confirm a person re-read the source text for accuracy.

You likely don't need this permit

The student residence permit is only for people who are not nationals of an EU country, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland. EU nationals studying in Malta for more than three months register their stay with Identità and get an eResidence document instead.

Every report is personal: a document check is built from one person's own answers and documents, so two people on this route can get different results. Run your own check rather than relying on a friend's or relative's; each person is responsible for their own application.
