Rules

Crew rules under the Malta flag

Flag

No nationality limit

Transport Malta says there are no restrictions on the nationality of the master, officers and crew on Maltese yachts and superyachts. A commercial superyacht over 24 m gets a Minimum Safe Manning Certificate. Commercial yachts up to 24 m follow the manning rules in the Commercial Yacht Code. Check the rules for your passport.

Certificates

STCW endorsement

Foreign certificates issued under the STCW 78 Convention need an endorsement from the Maltese Administration. Transport Malta may accept other yacht certificates case by case. Check the current rules with Transport Malta.

Visas

Schengen, 90 in 180

Visa-exempt nationals can stay in the Schengen area for the first 90 days in every 180-day period. A stay of more than 90 days needs a Malta D-visa. Identità does not process Schengen type C visas. Check the rules for your passport.
