What to verify before paying

Identita Malta First confirm that your access came from the official application flow, your employer, or the official portal. Then check whether your payment covers Phase 1, Phase 2 booking, or both.

If you work in tourism or hospitality, read the Skills Pass guide as well, because the Skills Pass is separate from the general pre-departure requirement.
