El Salvador has perhaps the most unique and interesting visa policy out of all the countries.

Correction: Madagascar also pays the US$1,130 for transit, but does not require a visa to enter.

Hospitaller Malta was the period when the islands of Malta and Gozo were ruled by the Order of St. John of Jerusalem from 1530 to 1798. The islands were technically under the Kingdom of Sicily, but the knights governed them after Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor gave them Malta following their loss of Rhodes. They also controlled Tripoli for a time until the Ottoman Empire captured it in 1551, though the Ottomans failed to take Malta in 1565.

After that siege, the knights built a new capital, Valletta, and Malta entered a prosperous period marked by strong cultural and architectural growth. The Order even briefly owned a few Caribbean islands, making it the smallest state to colonize in the Americas.

Their power declined in the late 1700s, especially after the French Revolution. In 1798, Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Malta and forced the Order out. The Maltese later rebelled against the French, and in 1800 Malta became a British protectorate, eventually turning into a colony of the United Kingdom in 1814.
