Malta Work Visa: EU Travel Rules for Visa Holders

"Yes, a person holding a Malta work visa (Single Permit) can travel within the Schengen Area, but with some conditions:

✅ Allowed:

You can travel to other Schengen countries (like Italy, France, Germany, Spain, etc.) for up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism or short business trips.

You don’t need a separate visa for these short visits as Malta is part of the Schengen Zone.

❌ Not allowed:

You cannot work or take employment in any other Schengen country with your Malta work visa.

You must live and work primarily in Malta, as your residence permit is tied to your Maltese employer."
