Mrawah Travel

On 21 December 2007 Malta joined the Schengen system at the end of a gradual process of adjusting
to the common visa regime provided by the Convention Implementing the Schengen Agreement.

While strengthening the common external border, there was a parallel and radual removal of internal border
controls, giving total freedom of movement within all the territories of the Schengen agreement signatory states:
the establishment of what has become known as the Schengen Area.

All Libyan nationals and residents of Libya residing in the Benghazi area, can now apply for a Schengen Visa from our
offices located at the Tibesty Hotel.

What is a visa ??

A visa is an authorisation or decision, in the form of a sticker, issued and affixed to a passport by a diplomatic mission
or consular post to a third-country national.

It authorises the bearer to stay or travel through Malta during a limited and specified period. The possession of a
visa does not give the third country national the automatic right of entry, as bearers must prove that they will meet
the conditions of entry. Border authorities may refuse entry or annul the visa, if it is subsequently established that:

- the bearer is not in possession of adequate means of subsistence;
- the data submitted during the visa application procedure were incorrect or falsified;
- the bearer is unable to provide details regarding the circumstances of the stay in Malta

Border authorities may refuse entry also for reasons of security or public policy.

Malta only visas are also available, making it easier for all travelers planning to travel from Benghazi.

The Schengen area

The Schengen area includes the territory of the following 22 European Union countries and associated
countries: Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia,
Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.

It includes Norway and Iceland. Bulgaria, Cyprus, Ireland, Romania
and the United Kingdom still do participate in the Schengen cooperation
