Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.

  • Main destination for stay: You should spend the majority of your time in Germany, as you are required to apply for a visa from the country where you will spend the most time.

  • You may be required to pay a fine for the period you overstayed.

  • Depending on the duration of the overstay, you could be banned from re-entering Malta for a specific period of time.

  • You may face legal action, especially if the overstay is significant.
