Where Indonesia and Malta can travel visa-free together

Travelling as a pair with two different passports? Here is the full list of countries where BOTH of you can enter without a prior visa — plus where your access differs.

Where to apply: Malta has no mission in Indonesia

Guides tell you a visa is required but never warn that there is nowhere to file it — the mission simply does not exist in your country. We picked the nearest countries that do accept applications and measured the distance.

1
Australia 3,457 km
Applications accepted in: Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney
2
China 4,198 km
Applications accepted in: Beijing, Shanghai
3
India 4,485 km
Applications accepted in: New Delhi

Distances are measured between country centroids — a rough guide, not a route. Before you travel, confirm with the chosen consulate that it accepts applicants resident elsewhere: many operate a consular district, and out-of-district applications are not always accepted, often with a longer queue.

Your odds of getting the visa: Indonesia → Malta

Visa guides tell you whether a visa is required. This block answers the second question — will you get it. Figures come from the European Commission's official 2025 statistics, broken down per country pair.
