Finding your way to the official Skills Pass destinations

This page is a map, not a portal

Malta Skills Pass Guide 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.

Where each part of the process lives

A simple way to choose where to start

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Then go to the official account application to actually register, complete the courses and 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 Guide 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.

Frequently asked questions

Why does this guide link to more than one official site?

Because the Tourism & Hospitality Skills Pass genuinely sits across more than one official destination — the sector-specific Skills Pass site describes the requirement and the process, the account application is where you actually register and complete it, and Identità owns the separate, mandatory Pre-Departure Course requirement that generally applies alongside it. Pointing you to only one would leave a gap.

How do I know a site claiming to be 'official' really is?

Check the web address against the ones listed on this page and on our sources page — tourism.skillspass.org.mt, app.skillspass.org.mt, skillspass.org.mt, and identita.gov.mt. Official government and government-linked sites in Malta generally use .gov.mt or recognised institutional domains. If a link elsewhere (an email, a social post, a search ad) goes somewhere else, treat it with caution and verify independently before entering any information.

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.
