International Students

International students applying to continue their studies at GCHSS and do not have an eID must apply directly at the school. Students should first obtain a Recognition Statement from the Malta Qualifications Recognition Information Centre (MQRIC) to certify their level of education obtained. A minimum of MQF Level 3 or equivalent is accepted by GCHSS.

International students need to present the following documentation:

• A copy of the Recognition Statement of their academic qualifications (if a formal qualification is not available, then the last assessment report from the previous school is required)
• A copy of their valid residence permit obtained from Identità
• A copy of their original passport or ID card

International students under the age of 18 also require the following documentation:

• A copy of their parents’/guardians’ original passport or ID card
• A copy of their parents’/guardians’ valid residence permit
• A copy of one of their parents’/guardians’ work permit or business licence
• A copy of one of their parents’/guardians’ contract of lease of residence

Third country nationals, i.e. students from outside the European Union, the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland, are requested to pay the respective fee at the Ministry for Education (Floriana) and present a receipt of payment for the whole scholastic year upon application. Third country nationals may benefit from an exemption of fees. This may be verified by contacting the Ministry for Education.
