Malta to start issuing Schengen visas from Tripoli and direct flights to Libya and European capitalsBy Sami Zaptia. London, 22 December 2020:Malta has agreed to start issuing Schengen visas from its Tripoli embassy as well as direct flights to Libya and European capitals. Direct flights from Libya, by Libyan registered aircraft into European airspace are still under an EU embargo. The reference to direct flights into European capitals may be referring to the fact that Libya wants to technically circumnavigate this EU embargo by registering some of its aircraft in Malta. The MoU had specifically mentioned the re-registration of Libyan aircraft in Malta.
