When to contact the programme directly
This guide explains what official sources publish about the I Belong Programme — but it cannot tell you how the programme will treat your individual circumstances, confirm your personal eligibility, process an application, or give you a date for when Stage 1 registrations will reopen. For all of those, the Human Rights Directorate and the I Belong Programme itself are the only authorities who can give you a reliable answer. Situations where contacting them directly is the right next step include:
- you were partway through a Stage 1 course when the restructuring pause began, and want to know how it affects you (see what the pause means);
- you hold an existing qualification and want to know whether it changes your Stage 1 or Stage 2 requirement (see eligibility);
- you need to confirm exactly what your completed or in-progress I Belong certificate documents, for a Long-Term Residence application or another official process (see the certificate discrepancy breakdown); or
- you have a time-sensitive deadline that depends on the programme’s current status.
Published contact details
Official information names a dedicated programme email address for I Belong enquiries: ibelongcourses@gov.mt. The Human Rights Directorate also publishes a general contact page for its Integration and Anti-Racism Unit, which administers the programme. We recommend starting with the official contact page below — it will always carry the most current published phone numbers, office locations, and any additional contact routes the Directorate has made available since this page was last checked.
The contact page above was directly re-checked on 2026-06-14. It currently publishes the Integration & Anti-Racism Unit address, programme and general email addresses, a telephone number, and social links.
What to have ready when you contact them
To get a useful answer quickly, it generally helps to have to hand: your current residence or visa status, the stage and course (if any) you have already completed or are partway through, any reference numbers from a previous application or enrolment, and a clear, specific statement of the question you need answered. This guide cannot submit anything on your behalf, store any of these details, or track your enquiry — all of that happens directly between you and the programme.
