Country Profile.

Malta is a small island, and the capital city of Valetta has only 25,000 residents. Therefore, it’s easy to get around and you can visit many different places in one day if you want to.

The weather is warm most of the year–but not too hot! You’ll find plenty of beaches where you can relax or even go swimming–there are also clubs if you’re looking for something more active.

The population of Malta is around 450,000 people and grows by 2% annually (the country has one of Europe’s highest birth rates). The capital city is Valletta; other major cities include Birkirkara and Sliema.

Malta has a rich history and culture dating back over 2 millennia–you’ll find ancient temples scattered across its landscape as well as several UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Mdina Cathedral City & Fortifications Complexes or Ta’ Ħaġrat Temples (collectively known as Megalithic Temples).

Malta has an excellent reputation for providing quality teaching at a reasonable price, making it an attractive option for students who want to study abroad but don’t have much money to spend on their education. The country also has a well-developed higher education system that’s made up of a number of public and private universities, as well as several language schools.

The cost of living in Malta is relatively low compared to other European nations. In fact, it’s much cheaper than many other countries as well. For example, the average monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Malta is around €400-€500 while the average monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment in New York City is €2,900!

Students who require a Malta study Visa need to apply for the following Schengen visas. They are:

• Schengen Type D Visa: This is a long-term permit that permits a student to pursue a course that is more than three months.
• Schengen Type C Visa: this is known as the short-term permit which allows a student to study or stay for three months only. However, if you need to stay for a longer period of time, you can extend your stay by applying for temporary residence. You won’t be able to work in Malta if your stay is shorter than 90 days.

Learning a new language is never easy, but it can be fun. There are many countries where you can study English as a second language and find yourself immersed in another culture at the same time. Malta is one such place where you can learn English while enjoying its beautiful weather and scenery with realistic options of remaining in the country afterwards!
