Italian Study Visa
Non-Italian students who are citizens of other EU states do not need a study visa. Citizens of non-EU states must obtain a study visa from the Italian Embassy or Consulate in the country of their nationality. We strongly recommend applicants requiring a visa to consult the Italian Embassy or Consulate in their country for information on deadlines for visa applications before contacting us.
After receiving the Pre-Acceptance letter for the chosen study program, the following documentation must be submitted to the Italian Embassy or Consulate in the home country. Both originals and copies of items 2, 4, 5, and 6 shall be submitted for inspection by the reviewing officer at the Embassy or Consulate.
The originals will be returned upon completion of the inspection, and the copies will be retained. Link can assist with the documentation for item 7 upon request.
