Hungarian passport holders enter Malta freely as EU and Schengen citizens. No visa, no fee, no time limit on stays. A valid Hungarian national ID card or passport is sufficient. Both countries are in the Schengen Area, so flights between them operate with no border control.
For stays beyond 3 months, apply for a residence certificate at Identity Malta (id.gov.mt). The application fee is EUR 25. Bring proof of employment, self-employment, studies, or sufficient resources (roughly EUR 14,000 per year for a single person) plus comprehensive health insurance.

Direct flights from Budapest to Malta run about 2 hours 15 minutes on Ryanair and Air Malta. Malta uses the euro. No vaccination requirements. Driving is on the left side of the road (British colonial legacy). Hungarian driving licenses are valid for short stays; residents must exchange within 1 year. English is an official language alongside Maltese, so communication is never a problem. Malta is small enough (316 km2) that no point on the island is more than 30 minutes from the airport by car.
