Are you thinking about living and studying in Italy?
Arriving in Italy and making your study or life project come true can be an extraordinary experience… but the bureaucratic path is not simple. Understanding which visa to apply for, for how long, and how to obtain your residence permit once you arrive can be complicated. The process is long and requires planning.
To help you move forward with confidence, here are 3 essential tips:
- Start early – Waiting lists vary from Consulate to Consulate, so it is advisable to begin the procedure at least 3 months before departure.
- Evaluate your medium-term plans – Choosing the visa (and therefore the residence permit) best suited to your life project avoids unpleasant surprises and unplanned return trips.
- Rely on a professional – Consult with an expert to prepare all the necessary documentation to present to the Consulate, in order to avoid delays or problems.
