Italy Student Visa

Foreign nationals may need to apply for an Italy Student Visa if they 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. A sort of Italian long-stay visa is the student visa (also known as a national or D-visa). If you wish to stay in Italy for more than 90 days, you must apply for the Italy visa.Italy's student visa is merely an entry visa. This means that while it gives you permission to enter Italy, you must also apply for an Italian residence visa if you intend to stay and study there for a period of time longer than three months. mAn Italian residency permit may only be applied for within Italy. This justifies the requirement for the entry visa.
