Consular Office, Embassy of Japan in Malta

The Embassy of Japan office in Sliema provides consular services for Japanese nationals in Malta and coordinates appointments; Japan’s Embassy in Italy holds diplomatic accreditation for Malta. The official website lists passports, certificates, civil-status filings, overseas voting, My Number for eligible applicants and education information. Japanese visa applications by Malta residents are handled separately in Rome.

Address: 35 Tigne Place, ground floor, Tigne Street, Sliema SLM 3173. Telephone +356 27 324 491; consular email consular@ve.mofa.go.jp. The counter is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m., except holidays; general Embassy hours are weekdays, 9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. and 1:30–5:00 p.m. Consular visits are arranged in advance. The official page notes there is no visitor parking.

Published services include passports and related documents, certificates and civil-status filings, overseas-residence and voting enquiries, and safety and education information. The updated passport guidance sets out core documents and says the office cannot accept online passport applications and ordinary issuance may take one and a half to two months; the certificate section asks applicants to contact staff before assembling a file. Japanese visa applications from Malta residents, including Working Holiday applications from Maltese nationals, are handled by the Embassy in Rome and may require an in-person submission and collection there.

For planning, email the Consular Office with your nationality and procedure. Confirm that the service is offered in Sliema, the counter day, original documents and appointment requirements; for a visa, follow the Rome office’s instructions. Google rating and review-count fields are omitted because we could not verify them against the exact Tigne Place listing.
