Student visa requirements for Italy

Complete your visa application.

• Fill out the visa application form and pay your fees.
• Submit your passport and a color passport photo.
• Provide all the necessary documents, including proof of admission, diplomas or previous degrees, transcripts, proof of language proficiency (if required), financial means for the entire length of study in Italy, health insurance for the entire length of stay in Italy, or flight itineraries or round trip reservation.

Submit an acceptance letter from your educational institution and proof of enrollment.

• One of the most important visa requirements for Italy is that you must submit an acceptance letter from your educational institution. You should ask your school to provide a copy of this letter in English, but if it’s not available, you can get it translated by an official translator.
• The next most important document to provide is proof of enrollment. This document must be supplied by the school and show that you are registered as a student at the educational institution where you are studying or planning to study.
• If you want to apply for a visa at an Italian consulate in your home country, then it is imperative that you have been accepted by the school. This means providing a letter from them stating they will admit you into their program on condition that you meet all the other requirements such as language proficiency and health insurance coverage.
• You must also show proof of having paid the tuition fees (and any other charges). If any balance remains unpaid when applying for a visa renewal later on, then this could result in being denied entry back into Italy until full payment has been made up front again before applying again successfully so keep track carefully!
• If there’s any chance at all that your educational institution might request additional documents from its students once they’ve already begun classes such as transcripts showing exam results over time or coursework completed – these too need to be translated into Italian and submitted along with everything else on file when applying for long-term residency status so start collecting them now so things don’t become overwhelming later.”

Provide proof of sufficient funds to support yourself in Italy.

The U.S. Student visa for Italy generally requires special financial arrangements to be made by the applicant before applying. To apply for your visa, you must prove that you have enough money to support yourself and any dependents who will be coming with you. This can be done in a few ways:

• By showing a bank statement that proves you have at least $5,000 USD on hand.
• By showing a letter from one of your parents or guardians that they will support you while in Italy, along with the same required bank statement of $5,000 USD or more in their name.
• From any other source of income or savings that proves you have more than just food and shelter covered while studying abroad in Italy is covered (such as scholarships or loans).

Submit a medical certificate and insurance policy that is valid in all Schengen Area countries.

• Submit a medical certificate and insurance policy that is valid in all Schengen Area countries.
• To obtain the medical certificate, you must make an appointment with a doctor at the consulate.
• Check with your consulate to see which type of insurance is accepted—some consulates only accept health insurance, while others will also accept travel policies.
• Your insurance must be valid in all Schengen Area countries and cover a minimum of $30,000 USD (or 30,000 euros).
• The insurance coverage must last for the entire validity period of your visa.

Pay the visa fee.
