Student Visa Italy

#studentvisa

About

International students who wish to study in Italy need a Student Visa to enter the country. So, you may need to apply for this visa if you plan to study there for more than three months. 

Depending on your nationality, you might or might not require a visa. You will also require an Italian residency permit in addition to the visa. 

If you wish to stay in Italy for more than 90 days, you must apply for an Italy visa. An Italian long-stay visa is a type of Student Visa (also known as a national or D-visa). 

Italian Embassies or Visa application centres in your home country issue Student Visas to Italy. Students from the European Union (EU) or the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) can visit Italy with travel documents or EU ID cards and stay for the duration of their study without a visa.

On the other hand, EU students must register at their local Questura station (police station) upon arrival to receive a residence permit if their study program is longer than three months. If you're a non-EU student, you'll need to apply for Student Visa before coming to Italy.

Eligibility

To be eligible, you must:

  • be accepted by an educational institute in Italy.
  • not be a minor under the age of 14 who participates in a Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs-approved cultural exchange program.

Documents

Gather the following documents before you apply for a Student Visa.

  • An up-to-date passport-size photo. 
  • Travel documents should be valid for a minimum of three months after the visa is granted. 
  • Enrolling or preparing to enroll in a course at a university. 
  • Evidence of your accommodation in Italy. 
  • A statement that proves your financial stability (at least €467,65 each month for the academic year, or €6.079,45 annually).
  • Adequate insurance to cover hospital stays and medical expenses 
  • Evidence that the funds required for return are available 
  • Proof of appropriate Italian or English language skills, depending on the program's language requirements 
  • If the student is a minor, the consent to expatriate must be signed by both sets of parents or by the legal guardian in the event of their absence.

Process

When to Apply
You should apply once you are sure about getting into an educational institute in Italy. Moreover, also look for the visa processing time before you apply.

Visa Processing Time
The average time required to process a Student Visa is about two months from when an application is submitted. After receiving the visa, the applicant can go to Italy, apply for a residence permit, live legally in Italy, and work part-time.

How to Apply
The following steps are involved in the process of application.

  • Gathering the required supporting documentation.
  • Submitting an application for a study permit at the Italian Consulate in the student's current residence.
  • Within 8 days of arrival in Italy, submit an application for a residence permit at the competent police headquarters.

Duration & Fees

Duration
The Student Visa validity period is a maximum of one year and is renewed if the student continues to take multiannual courses under the same conditions.

Fees
This visa may cost 50 EUR. The fee is non-refundable.

Extension

The applicant can renew their resident visa on their own or with our assistance. After five years of continuously registered legal residence in Italy, the person may apply for a permanent residence permit.

Highlights

Study
The visa is specified for study.

Multi-entry
Enter or leave the country as you please.

Work
