HOW TO OBTAIN A STUDENT VISA FOR ITALY BEFORE ARRIVAL

International students will have to apply for a student visa at the Italian Embassy/Consulate in their home country.

Please, visit the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website for further information about specific countries eligibility for student visas at the link:  http://vistoperitalia.esteri.it/home/en

The general documents Embassies/Consulates usually ask for are the following:

• application form (each Embassy/Consulate will provide the applicant with it)
• visa letter (provided by the Luiss BS Visa Office only to officially enrolled students);
• passport photos;
• copy of the passport of the applicant;
• copy of the bank account of the applicant;
• mandatory health insurance.

Please, do not rely only on the   above information. Each Embassy/Consulate might ask applicants for further documentation, so it is important to get in contact with the local Italian authorities to have an updated and complete list of required documentation.

Please, consider that having an appointment at the Embassy/Consulate could take months, as well as obtaining a student visa. For this reason, we recommend our students to contact the Italian authorities as soon as possible, in order to arrive on time for the beginning of the Programme.

It is student’s responsibility to make sure what documentation each Italian Embassy/Consulate requires.

Please remember that the only document that entitles a non – EU citizen to stay in Italy is the Permit of stay, not the visa!
