Hi.
I hope I posted this in the right section.
I'm planning of visiting my boyfriend in Malta and he will be sponsoring my trip. I understand that I need a tourist visa. I looked up the list of requirements online and I have tons of questions. I hope someone can help me.
A. a letter of invitation
- since this is a personal trip, can my boyfriend just write me a letter saying that he is inviting me to visit him? what type of letter is required? (type-written, signed, etc). I heard of a cover letter but i don't know how that looks like.
B.Supporting documents regarding means of transport
- I haven't booked tickets yet since i'm not sure if i will be granted a visa or not. How can i provide a means of transport?
C.Supporting documents regarding means of subsistence.
- my boyfriend is paying for the trip. Am i required to have money on my account? If yes, at least how much?
- I have personal savings account, can I just ask my bank to print my bank statement for the last 6 months?
- Can I just bring cash at the embassy as proof?
D. Supporting documents regarding accommodation
I will be staying at my boyfriend's apartment. Can my boyfriend just write a letter saying that I can stay in his place? Does it have to be stamped or verified?
E. When I get to Malta, I'd like to visit nearby countries like Italy. Can I do that or do I have to apply for a separate VISA or do I have to state the countries I plan to visit?
I'm sorry. I know these are a LOT of questions. I tried emailing the consulate's office but haven't received a response. Hope someone can help me.
Thanks!
