Official Skills Pass links: skillspass.org.mt for portal access and guidance, and tourism.skillspass.org.mt for tourism and hospitality information.
This page is a map, not a portal
Malta Skills Pass is an independent information guide — it is not a portal, and it cannot register you, take your payment, run your assessments, or issue your certificates. What it can do is save you time by pointing you, with explicit labels, to the specific official destination each part of the process actually lives on. Every link below opens an official external website in a new tab.

A simple way to choose where to start
- Confirm the Skills Pass applies to your role by checking who needs the Skills Pass and the published list of excluded roles — and read the official sector site’s own description directly if you’re still unsure.
- Confirm the separate Pre-Departure Course requirement by reading Identità’s guidance — it generally applies to first-time Single Permit applicants regardless of sector, and the official Skills Pass sequence folds its purchase into the same process.
- Then follow the portal link from Skills Pass to register, study, complete online assessments, book your interview and pay. See how registration works for a preview.
A note on staying safe online
This process involves your identity documents and several payments, which makes it exactly the kind of process that attracts imitation sites and phishing attempts. Before you enter any personal information or pay any fee, check that the address bar shows one of the official domains named on this page — and remember that Malta Skills Pass itself will never ask you to enter passport details, upload identity documents, or pay a fee. If you ever see that request on a page that looks like it belongs to this guide, it does not, and you should stop and verify directly with Skills Pass or Identità.
Common questions
Why does this guide link to more than one official site?
The tourism Skills Pass site explains sector requirements. The Skills Pass portal handles registration, online assessments, payments and interview booking; attend interviews as instructed. Identità explains the Pre-Departure certificate requirement and exemptions in its 28 February 2026 notice. The Skills Pass FAQ identifies ITS as the certificate issuer.
How do I know a site claiming to be 'official' really is?
Our suggestion: start from tourism.skillspass.org.mt, skillspass.org.mt or identita.gov.mt and follow their portal links. Check the destination independently before entering information, especially when arriving through an email, social post or search ad. A familiar-looking address alone does not establish that a page is official.
What should I do if an official link on this page stops working?
Official sites occasionally restructure their pages, which can break specific deep links even when the overall site is fine. If a link here doesn't load, try the site's homepage first (the domains above), and please let us know through the contact page so we can check and update it — see the visible "Last verified" date for when we last confirmed these links worked.
