About This Visa
Indian ordinary-passport holders need a Schengen C. Usual staff path: VFS Global in India (New Delhi or Ahmedabad), then the High Commission of Malta in New Delhi decides. Identità does not process short-stay C. Helpline 022 67866005 · infomalta.northin@vfshelpline.com.
National D (over 90 days): Identità / VFS extended service — not this holiday C. VAC page: send ordinary visa questions to VFS, not the High Commission.
