Where registration happens — and where it doesn’t

Registration and the entire Tourism & Hospitality Skills Pass process take place on the official Skills Pass account application, at app.skillspass.org.mt — not here. This page only summarises, in plain language, what the official sector operational page says about the sequence you’ll move through, so you can prepare calmly. It is a preview, not a substitute for the official process, and Malta Skills Pass Guide cannot register you, take payment, or issue any certificate on your behalf.

What the official sequence describes — verbatim, where it matters

The sector operational page walks candidates through registration as a numbered, step-by-step sequence. Two of those steps state costs explicitly, in terms specific enough to quote directly:

  • “Step 2: Purchase the Pre-Departure Course (€245)” — this is the same mandatory course covered across the Malta Guide Network; the official page folds its purchase into this sequence rather than treating it as a separate, standalone process.
  • “Step 4: Select Tourism and Hospitality Sector (€230)” — this is where you formally enter the sector-specific track this guide covers.

The official page describes additional steps in the sequence beyond these two — for the complete, current step-by-step list (including any steps not quoted here), the official operational page is the authoritative source. We’re quoting only the parts we can state with confidence, rather than paraphrasing steps we can’t verify in the same exact terms.

A cost figure that surfaces later in the process

Separately from the two steps quoted above, the same official page states that “upon successful completion of Phase 1 and receipt of Phase 1 Confirmation, the candidate is invited to book a slot for the Phase 2 Interview and pay €250”. We re-checked this figure directly against the source to rule out a transcription error — it is published as written, and it does not cleanly reconcile with the per-step figures above or with the combined totals published elsewhere. See the full cost breakdown for how we’ve handled this discrepancy: stated plainly, named clearly, and not resolved by guesswork.

Before you start

  • Confirm whether the separate, mandatory Pre-Departure Course requirement applies to you — it generally does for first-time Single Permit applicants — so you’re not caught off guard by Step 2 of this sequence.
  • Check the published list of excluded roles to confirm the Tourism & Hospitality track actually applies to your occupation before you pay for Step 4.
  • Have your identity documents ready and current — official Skills Pass materials elsewhere describe expired documents as a cause of account suspension, and this guide has no reason to think that differs here.
  • Set aside enough time and budget to move through the sequence without rushed decisions — especially around the cost steps named above.

When you’re ready

The official Skills Pass account application is where the process actually begins, and where every payment, document upload, and assessment happens:

Frequently asked questions

Does this guide collect any of my personal or passport details?
No. This page only explains, in plain language, what the official Skills Pass operational pages say happens during registration. Every detail — your identity information, your documents, and any payment — is entered directly on the official Skills Pass account application, never on this site.
Why does the official sequence mention purchasing the Pre-Departure Course during this registration?
Because, per official materials, the Tourism & Hospitality Skills Pass is completed through the same application as the separate, mandatory Pre-Departure Course — and the operational walkthrough folds both into one step-by-step sequence. If you haven't already worked out whether the Pre-Departure Course applies to you (it generally does, for first-time Single Permit applicants), it's worth checking Identità's guidance before you start this sequence, not partway through it.
Will I be asked to pay more than once while registering?
Based on the official operational page's own step-by-step description, yes — different stages of the sequence carry their own stated costs (for example, the course itself, selecting the Tourism and Hospitality sector, and booking the Phase 2 interview). See the cost page for every figure we found, including one that is hard to reconcile with the others, named plainly rather than glossed over.
