In a significant development for Malta's English language teaching (ELT) industry, the government's identity agency Identita' and the Federation of English Language Teaching Organizations Malta (FELTOM) have announced a collaborative effort to streamline the visa application process for international students.

This groundbreaking partnership marks a major victory for FELTOM, which has been advocating tirelessly for clearer and more consistent visa regulations. The recent changes, including the introduction of official guidelines and the adoption of a FELTOM-created document, provide much-needed clarity and certainty for both students and language schools.

The process of applying for a visa to study English in Malta has undergone several revisions this year, leading to confusion and uncertainty among stakeholders. FELTOM's persistent engagement with government agencies has been instrumental in addressing these issues and ensuring that the needs of the ELT sector are met.

The newly established guidelines offer a clear flowchart for visa applicants, outlining the necessary steps and documentation. This transparency will significantly reduce the administrative burden on both students and language schools, enhancing the overall student experience.

FELTOM will be sharing this positive news and the detailed flowchart with agents and stakeholders worldwide, promoting Malta as an attractive destination for English language studies.
