Visa approval depends entirely on the Maltese authorities; however, we help students prepare a complete, consistent and properly organised application.

Accommodation Guidance:

IDEA College’s publicly available information does not clearly guarantee college-owned accommodation for every international student.

Accommodation should therefore be described as accommodation guidance or assistance, rather than guaranteed college accommodation.

Students may receive guidance regarding:

• Shared apartments

• Accommodation in Mosta and nearby areas

• Public-transport access to the college

• Tenancy-agreement requirements for visa purposes

Before making payment, students should verify:

• Monthly rent

• Utility charges

• Refund and cancellation conditions

• Accommodation standard

• Travelling distance from the college

Cost of Living:

Living expenses depend on the accommodation type, location, room-sharing arrangement and the student’s personal lifestyle.

Students should prepare a realistic budget for:

• Accommodation and security deposit

• Food and groceries

• Public transportation

• Health or travel insurance

• Visa and residence-permit expenses

• Mobile and internet charges

• Books and study materials

• Personal and emergency expenses

IDEA College does not clearly publish one fixed living-cost amount applicable to every international student.

Students should calculate their budget using current Maltese immigration requirements, actual accommodation quotations and their individual living arrangements.
