#visahacks 5 Quick Tips to Get Approved Faster Planning a trip to Malta? Here are 5 smart hacks to help you get your Schengen visa approved more easily: 1. Apply via another Schengen embassy – If Malta has no embassy in your country, you can apply through a country that represents Malta (like Italy or France). 👉 Just make sure that country is part of your travel plan, or your visa might get rejected. 2. Use refundable bookings – Flights and hotels with free cancellation can be used as proof without committing. 3. Choose a faster visa center – Some centers have shorter wait times. Do a quick check! 4. Provide strong documents – Bank statements, employment letters, travel insurance — make them clear and complete. 5. Check for digital nomad visa – Malta offers long-stay visas for remote workers too! ✅ Bonus tip: Always apply early — at least 4–6 weeks before your trip. #uptomejourney #travel #malta

#summerbudgettrip Irecently visited Malta and had an incredible experience overall. The island is absolutely stunning, with a perfect mix of historical sites, beautiful beaches, and charming towns. Valletta, Mdina, and the Three Cities were highlights — so much rich history packed into small, walkable areas. The architecture is gorgeous, and everywhere you go feels like stepping into the past. The beaches and the Blue Lagoon were breathtaking, with crystal-clear water ideal for swimming and snorkeling. We also took a day trip to Gozo, which felt quieter and even more relaxed than the main island — well worth the ferry ride. Food was another major highlight: fresh seafood, pastizzi, rabbit stew, and excellent Mediterranean flavors. The people were welcoming and helpful, and English is widely spoken, making it easy to get around. Overall, Malta is a perfect destination if you’re looking for a mix of culture, history, nature, and relaxation.

#cityplaybook I had the chance to celebrate Christmas 🎄 at Yokohama Port at night, and I have to say—it was freezing! 🥶Since the event was held by the waterfront, every time the wind blew, it felt like I was about to freeze to death. But still, it was a unique experience. There were food trucks where you could grab something to eat and enjoy it right there, along with drinks, and there were also selling souvenirs and other goods. 🎁 #cityplaybook #aprilblooms #postandearn #uptomejourney #christmas #yokohama #japan #travel

#cityplaybook I had a chance to walk in the night at the Asakusa. The weather was so cold because of Winter so there weren’t many people out for a walk, which makes the atmosphere around Asakusa feel calm and quiet—quite different from usual. We walked from a restaurant near Asakusa to our hotel in the Ueno area which took approximately 15-20 mins by walk. If you have the time and want to enjoy the atmosphere, walking from Asakusa to Ueno is a highly recommended activity. #cityplaybook #aprilblooms #Uptomejourney #staycation #travel #thingstodo #japan #tokyo #asakusa #ueno #postandearn

Wicked and Harry Potter and Cursed of Child.
