VISA APPLICATION
Some Italian Representatives may ask for specific communications from our side
regarding some information that can actually be found in the admission letter,
such as:
Course duration:
Meaning the Italian Representative is supposed to consider this letter as the only
official document which will be issued for students in order to obtain the student visa.
Please consider that the Academic Calendar, as well as the exact amount of tuition fees,
are usually available during summer, thats why the Admission letter, issued several
months before that period, cannot contain precise information about the beginning/end
of courses
KEY WORD Tuition Fees
In some cases, the Italian Representatives ask for documents regarding tuition fees, so we
decided to list some basic points with the purpose of clarifying what can and cannot be
done:
- The first installment of tuition fees can be paid only in a specific window, which
always coincides with the enrollment period (between September and October,
and between May and July for students of Architecture only);
- The fee structure of each academic year is usually deliberated and published online
in Summer and may vary according to some specific factors
Overall, it is impossible to officially certify specific information for people who are
not yet enrolled, since a certificate is a formal act connected with the personal student
number (which is issued only upon enrollment).
Having said that, it will be soon available a specific section of the website dedicated to
students who are in the process of asking/obtaining a scholarship or loan from their
own government, where it is possible to find a sample to complete with the students
personal details and provide the local authority with.
KEY WORD Cost of life
- Lodging availability you can bypass providing such document, since the
admission letter already mentions you will be supported in the search for
accommodation;
- Financial availability you must prove you can afford living in Italy during your
stay. The Diplomatic Representative will tell you what to do in order to show such
proof. PLEASE note that this amount does not correspond to what your expenses will
actually be: these are better illustrated in the COST OF LIVING online section
- - Right to have a health insurance you can either buy an international health
insurance, making sure you will be covered in Italy as well, or buy an Italian health
insurance. The last one can only be purchased in Italy. The admission letter
specifies you will be supported in obtaining a health insurance, so this step can be
skipped as well, just showing the Embassy/Consulate the letter.
