PROCEDURE FOR NON-EU STUDENTS NEEDING A STUDY VISA FOR ITALY (A.Y. 2024/2025)

HOW IT WORKS

If you need a Study VISA for Italy (e.g. non-EU students living abroad) you must follow the Procedures issued by the Italian Ministry for Universities and Research for Entry, Residency and Enrolment at Higher Education Institutions for Students Requiring VISAS for higher Education Courses in Italy (LINK) by submitting your pre-enrolment request through Universitaly Platform (www.universitaly.it).

1) HOW TO START?

To start the pre-enrolment application you must register on the Universitaly Platform (www.universitaly.it).

Check our GENERAL OVERVIEW (ACADEMIC YEAR 2024-2025) Here you will find the documents you need to provide us.

At the end of the admission procedure, if you are eligible, your pre-enrolment application will be validated on the Universitaly Platform.

PLEASE NOTE! In order to validate your application, we need to verify the authenticity of your qualification.

The authenticity can be prove with “attestato di verifica Cimea”, “attestato Enic Naric”o legalizzazione/apostille, contact with the foreign institute.

2) YOU CAN START THE VISA APPLICATION TO THE RELEVANT DIPLOMATIC-CONSULAR MISSIONS

The procedure may vary depending on the provisions issued by the relevant diplomatic-consular Missions.

Check the deadlines for VISA APPLICATIONS.

A general deadline for Visa applying has been set on 29 November 2024, but it is a candidate’s responsibility to inquire about specific modalities and deadlines.

The final decision on the issue of a visa for study purposes is under the exclusive jurisdiction of the diplomatic/consular Mission.

The approval of a pre-enrolment request for a study course and the relative documentation produced by higher education institutions is to be considered a support for the evaluation procedures for study visas of the diplomatic Missions. It does not automatically imply the issue of the visa, as much as the diplomatic-consular Missions, in addition to verifying the possession of the requirements for the issue of a study/enrolment visa, are also obliged to assess the absence of the student's migration risk.

If the Embassy/Consulate accepts your request, it will issue an entry VISA for study purposes.

Instructions for enrolment

PLEASE NOTE! The approval of a pre-enrolment request for a study course does not entail any pretense or automaticity for the purpose of issuing the relative visa for study reasons, that is an exclusive responsibility for the competent diplomatic and consular representations;

The approval of a pre-enrolment request for a study course does not replace and does not generate any claims regarding the relative enrollment procedures for the chosen course of study, which will be perfected after obtaining the visa for study purposes, subject to verification of the authenticity of the documentation produced and the existence of all the elements useful for the purpose of enrollment.

Obtaining a Visa Study does not confer any right to enrolment, taking into account that this fulfillment is an exclusive jurisdiction of higher education institutions.
