Malta is a small island country in the European Union where English is an official language. For Cameroonian students from the English-speaking regions, and for francophones who are comfortable in English, that makes it one of the easiest places in Europe to start a diploma or a Master’s.
How much does it cost to study in Malta?
These are the 2027 tuition fees at our partner institutions (per year):
| Programme | Tuition per year |
|---|---|
| Undergraduate Diploma: AI for Professional Use, Business Administration, Digital Marketing, Human Resources Management, Occupational Health & Safety | €4,800 |
| Master’s in Human Resources Management | €6,000 |
On top of tuition, plan for the visa fee, health insurance, your flight, and accommodation and living costs in Malta. We give every student a full budget before they pay anything.
Where do Cameroonians apply for the Malta student visa?
Courses longer than 90 days need a national (D) student visa. Malta’s visa applications from Cameroon are handled through VFS Global. You book an appointment, pay the visa fee online, and submit your documents in person.
- Fees: €100 visa fee + €100 VFS service fee (standard). The visa fee is not refunded if the visa is refused.
- Processing time: at least 6 to 8 weeks. Malta’s own checklist asks students to apply at least 9 weeks before the course starts.
- Tracking: you can follow your application on the Identità portal with your reference number.
Documents you need
- Visa application form, signed
- Passport valid for at least 10 months, and one ICAO-standard photo
- Enrolment letter from a school registered with Malta’s higher education authority (MFHEA), with the course details and proof of tuition payment
- Proof of funds: bank statements for the last 3 months and a recent bank certificate showing at least 75% of Malta’s national minimum wage for each month of study. If a parent or sponsor pays, add their statements, a signed sponsor declaration and a copy of their ID.
- Medical and travel insurance valid in the Schengen area, with at least €30,000 cover
- Flight itinerary arriving no more than 2 weeks before your course starts
- Accommodation for at least your first 14 nights
Timeline for the 2027 intakes
- February 2027: only realistic if your documents are ready now. Admission, payment and a 6–8 week visa process leave very little margin.
- October 2027: the safer choice. Start your application between now and March so you can apply for the visa by early summer.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need IELTS to study in Malta?
Malta’s visa checklist does not list a language test. The school decides: many accept proof that your previous studies were in English, others ask for IELTS or an internal test. We check this for your programme.
How much money must my sponsor show?
At least 75% of Malta’s national minimum wage for each month of study, shown on 3 months of bank statements plus a bank certificate. We calculate the exact figure for your course length.
How long does the Malta visa take?
At least 6 to 8 weeks after you submit at VFS Global. Apply at least 9 weeks before your course starts.
Is the visa fee refunded if I am refused?
No. The €100 visa fee is non-refundable, which is why a complete, consistent file matters.
Visa rules and fees change: always check the latest information before you apply. We confirm them for every student.
