The warm Mediterranean climate throughout the year makes Malta an attractive tourist destination for many EU citizens.
Travel papers and visas

Practical advice
Due to the lack of Bulgarian diplomatic representation in Malta, in the case of theft of personal documents (ID card or passport), Bulgarian citizens should contact an Embassy of an EU Member-State in Malta to be issued an Emergency Travel Document to return to Bulgaria.

Certification and Legalisation
Bulgaria and Malta are parties under the Hague Convention on the abolishment of the requirement for legalisation of foreign public documents dated 1961. Thus, the documents/deeds comprised in each of the two countries shall be provided with a seal – “Apostille” of the relevant Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as translated and verified under the relevant order, to serve in front of the competent authorities of the other country.
Civil Status
Maltese authorities do not send civil status documents through diplomatic channels. Bulgarian citizens need to have their civil status documents certified with an ‘Apostille’ and after getting them translated by an authorised translator they must send them to the relevant Bulgarian municipality.
