Malta Pre-Departure Course registration: where the official Skills Pass portal is, what account setup asks for, and how to avoid imitation pages.
Where registration happens
Everything happens on the official Skills Pass portal, not here. This page is a preview of what the official process says, so you know what to expect. It does not replace the official process.
The four steps
- Choose your applicant category. The portal lists categories such as “Non-EU/EEA” nationals who are “Still Abroad”. Your category decides which documents you need later.
- Create your account. You give personal details, passport information and contact details. See the documents checklist.
- Upload documents. You upload a copy of your passport and “any required supporting documents based on the chosen user type”. Applicants under 18 are asked for extra forms.
- Finish setup and activate. Create a secure password, accept the terms and follow the activation instructions. Accounts not activated within 24 hours are deleted and you must start again.
Two things to know before you start
- The 24-hour window. The page says “accounts which are not activated within 24 hours will be automatically deleted and the candidate will be required to restart their whole process”. Activate straight away.
- Your email is permanent. It is a “unique identifier on the system” that “cannot be changed, edited or updated after registration”. Use an address you will keep. You may need it again for your certificate.
Check your documents first
Documents must not be expired. The page says registering with expired documents leads to permanent account suspension, and false data or documents lead to suspension without a refund. Check your passport and papers before you start. If something is unclear, ask Skills Pass.
When you are ready
Set aside time to finish registration in one sitting. Then start on the official portal:
Common questions
Does this guide collect any of my personal or passport details?
No. This page only explains what the official portal's own registration page says it will ask for. You enter everything on the official portal, never on this site. This guide never collects identity documents, passport details or payment information.
What if I do not finish setting up my account quickly?
The Skills Pass How to Register page says accounts not activated within 24 hours are automatically deleted, and you must start again. Set aside enough time to create the account and activate it straight away.
Can I change my email address after I register?
No. The How to Register page calls your email a "unique identifier on the system" that "cannot be changed, edited or updated after registration". Check it carefully before you submit. The page does not say how to fix a wrong address.
