What the consulate asks for a study visa
For a study stay longer than 90 days you need a national (type D) visa. Documents vary by consulate, but almost always include:
- Enrolment in a course in Italy - the school's enrolment letter and payment receipt. This comes from us.
- Accommodation - documented housing for the duration of the course. We find it for you, with the documents ready.
- Financial means and health insurance - according to your consulate's thresholds. We tell you which ones you need and how to present them.
- Language certificate (often B1), required by several consulates. You obtain it in your own country (see below).
Always check the exact list on your consulate's website. We help you put it together and meet the interview timeline.
What we provide
Enrolment letter for the course
Proof that you are enrolled in a real course in Italy, with dates and teaching hours: the central document of the visa application, the one only the school can issue.
Accommodation with documents ready
On-campus residence (Florence, Mantua) or city housing (Milan, Turin), with the accommodation documentation consulates accept.
Guidance on your consulate's requirements
We tell you the language level, financial thresholds and insurance your consulate requires, and the order in which to obtain each document to arrive in time.
One point of contact, all the way to arrival
From the first email to your first day in class: enrolment, visa documents, then codice fiscale, residence permit and the route to campus once in Italy.
The language requirement: you certify it in your own country
Several consulates also ask for an Italian language certificate (often B1), recent and from a recognised body: CELI, CILS, PLIDA. You do not need to come to Italy to obtain it: the exam is taken at an authorised centre in your own country (Italian Cultural Institutes, Dante Alighieri committees, partner universities).
If you want to get there with a guided path, we offer online preparation up to the required level - but it is an option, not an obligation: you can prepare however you prefer and sit the exam in your own country.
The document that counts comes from us
You can take the language certificate anywhere. Proof of enrolment in a course in Italy, the one the consulate puts at the centre of the application, can only come from the school where you will study. Start there: enrol, get the documents, then think about the language.
Tell us where you apply for your visa
Write us your country and when you want to leave: we prepare your enrolment, accommodation and the exact list of documents for your consulate, and we tell you which language certificate you need and where to obtain it.
