Citizens of EU/EEA countries are considered as non-fee paying students. However, citizens of Bulgaria and Romania are not granted this automatically except if they produce evidence that they are legally employed in Malta. Citizens of non-EU countries are required to pay fees for all state educational institutions. Any non-EU citizen may wish to apply for an exemption, which is done through a special application process. This policy applies for exemptions from fees payable at the following educational institutions: all primary and secondary state schools; Giovanni Curmi Higher Secondary School; Sir Mikelang Refalo Post-Secondary Complex; Institute of Tourism Studies; Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology; University of Malta (including Gian Franāisk Abela Junior College); Schools’ Information System Training Centre; all course programs organized by the directorate for life-long learning. The board shall consider applications for exemptions from fees if: the applicant is a third-country national who has obtained a long-term resident permit or EU blue card. You will obtain permanent residency through the MRVP program.
