need equivalence for.
Secondary school documents are mandatory for Pakistan.

4
Then you add your passport and consent form ( the portal is self explanatory, you’ll
understand all of this once you log in).
Then you apply.
Issue: you can only pay through PayPal. Since Paypal isn’t in Pakistan, you would need to
use someone’s account abroad. Urgent fee is around 47K (for ONE degree), regular fee
around 27K.
Urgent takes 15 working days. Regular I guess 30 (but double check this)

You get a PDF equivalence through the block chain. or you can request a hard copy (for
additional fee). You can also request them to send to an additional email address (also, for a
nominal fee)

Register here and start:

https://cimea.diplo-me.eu/cimea/#/auth/login

Check from your institute. Mostly they’ll require a certificate of comparability. Also, only for
your highest degree.

Link for that is:

http://www.cimea.it/en/attestati-di-comparabilita-e-di-verifica-dei-titoli-diplome.aspx

How to apply for the visa if you have CIMEA’s Statement of Comparability only?

If the university requires only the Statement of Comparability from CIMEA and there is no
requirement from the university to obtain verification of the Statement of Comparability.
Then, there is no need to obtain Verification of Statement of Comparability and spend extra
money on it. But, when you will go to the embassy to apply for the Visa, it may possible that
the Embassy will ask you to submit your documents for DOV as well (this will happen only if
the DOV requirement is mentioned on your admission letter).

The best solution to satisfy the embassy is to provide them a confirmation letter or it can be
an email mentioning that you don't require DOV as you have already provided them the
Statement of Comparability. Just after getting the statement of comparability from CIMEA,
write an email to your university and ask them to give you a confirmation letter or it can be
an email mentioning that you don't require DOV as you have provided them the Statement of
Comparability. When you will get the confirmation letter or email, you can go to the embassy,
and show your confirmation letter or email if they ask you about DOV.

Actually, in the admission letter if your university mentioned that you require DOV, then the
embassy will definitely ask you to submit your DOV documents. And the only solution to this
is to provide a confirmation statement to the embassy that there is no more requirement of
DOV from the university. Then, the embassy will not have any issue on DOV and their only
concern will be regarding the VISA application.

Getting DoV from degree country:

5
If your degree is from abroad(for example China) then apply for an appointment on
the website of the Italian Embassy in that country (for exampleBeijing) and authorize
anyone who will submit your documents in the embassy.
Send an email to the Italian embassy in the concerned country and they will send
you the details and requirements for DoV.

4. Bank Statement :

Call the respective branch of your bank or visit them. They would ask you to
fill a form and you can get your statement and letter on the same day. You should
remember that any transaction made today would appear in your bank statement
after 2 days. So if you want to show a transaction you made on monday you should
get a bank statement on the following wednesday or thursday.

1) Account Maintenance Certificate

2) Bank Account Statement of around 300,000 (3 Lacs).
3) All Pages stamp by bank manager

5. Documents Attestation process:

5) Always check that your QR code is activated or not.

In Italy there are strict immigration rules concerning family joining.

The official procedure is to ask for a family reunion (in Italian this procedure is
named “ricongiungimento familiare”); it can only be carried out when one family
member is already in Italy and will remain for a long stay, at least with a residence
permit of at least1 year.

First, the person who has to come to Italy for a job, study, or research has to arrive
alone, with his/her own visa and obtain his/her own residence permit, and then
he/she can apply for the Nulla Osta for ricongiungimento familiare to the Sportello
Unico per l’Immigrazione (the institution in charge).
Legalization legalization-requirments-new.pdf

Documents needed

9
- Marriage certificate: translated and legalized by the Italian Embassy/Consulate;
birth certificate for each son/daughter (who requires the ricongiungimento: attesting
the relationship between the son/daughter and both parents): also translated and
legalized. These documents must be shown to the Italian Embassy/Consulate where
the family will apply for the Visa.

- Copy of the lease (the rental contract has to be registered at Agenzia delle
Entrate).

- Certificato di idoneità abitativa(certificate attesting that the flat you will share with
your family is suitable): granted by a qualified technician (complying with the
minimum standards provided for by the regional law for public housing apartments);
subsequently you will have to bring the above-mentioned certificate to the Ufficio del
Comune (Your concern commune)

After about 7 days the Ufficio del Comune issues the certificate of adequate housing.
The opening times for collecting the adequate housing certificate is indicated on the
receipt issued by the “Ufficio Stranieri” when you submit the documentation.

- Certificate demonstrating the availability of a legally earned minimum annual

income. The revenue has to amount to no less than the annual amount of the social
allowance plus half of it for each family member that applies for ricongiungimento
familiare. For the joining of two or more children under 14 years of age or of two or
more family members: the income will have to amount to at least twice as much as
the annual amount of the social allowance.

- Certificato di residenza/“certificate of residence” (it takes approximately 45 days;

please apply at the Anagrafe Office of your area.
to summarize the above require documents as follows;
• Contratto di casa
• Carta di identità di proprietario,
• Accertamento di idoneità alloggiativa,
• Mod. S1 - consenso proprietario alloggio per minori,
• Consenso proprietario alloggio in merito all'approvazione dei familiari
nell'appartamento.
• Attestato di prestazione energetica,
• Catasto Fabbricati
• La superficie minima richiesta per i genitori e una famiglia di bambini è di 45
metri quadrati

Once you have all the above-mentioned documents you can go to the “Prefettura”
(Sportello Unico per l’Immigrazione” and start the process to obtain a “Nulla Osta”,
which can be obtained within 3 months. (But due to the Current situation of Covid it
may take a year as I have applied a year before)

10
Then Nulla Osta would be forwarded to the Italian embassy in Pakistan, where your
family could apply for the visa to come to Italy. The visa process can take again up to
5-6 months.
10. Late Entry Birth Certificate:
The legal process of late entry birth certificate is:

1. The request on Union council form will be initiated by your parents

2. Two affidavits will be required by your colleague or relatives who will confirm your
date of birth etc. . .
3. Union council will refer your case to Deputy Director Local government who will
make the file and will refer you to the hospital for medical examination
4. The medical board will examine you and will give it report,
5. Hospital will give you the time of Body X-rays and will also refer to the dental
hospital for dental x-rays.
6. After this process is done the medical board will compile report and will send it
back to Deputy Director local government, they will finally refer back to the same
Union council for the birth certificate,

Although this all process looks bit simple but actually it’s not, because everyone
knows the status of Our Gov. hospitals and offices,
Medical examination board is available once in a week, same as x-rays and dental x-
rays have alternate days in a week, so if a day is missed ultimately a week will be
added in your timeline,
You will purely have the feel of a backward system of Pakistan where you will be
treated like a shuttlecock and will be visited from one department to other from one
room to other, Sometimes the Dr. is not available some time you will have to make
the copies of your file after every process,

Any ways one can just wish luck for all this process,
Once you get the new certificate, thank Allah and get it.

This whole process is compulsory due to Bye-Lays of the Punjab Government for the
Late entry birth certificate,

Lawyer will also visit Union Council to verify Certificate, He will also visit Local
government office to check if they have your referral file then he will also visit the
Hospital to check if the file in Hospital has your X-rays in the record.

11. Why you need and how to activate International Roaming services on your
mobile SIM card

11
International Roaming Service allows users to use their SIM Card while traveling
outside Pakistan. International roaming is of great help for students when they reach
Italy.

There will be some great problems to face if you have not activated the roaming on
your personal SIM card from Pakistan.

Some problems that you may face without a roaming service in Italy:

● Email websites (e.g Gmail, yahoo, live) and social websites (e.g Facebook,
twitter and IG) are very secure websites, these sites require you to add a
security code, sent on your mobile number when you log-in from a new
location or new device. Generally, everyone uses personal accounts linked
with his mobile number in Pakistan. Now, you can imagine when you have to
open your gmail inbox in Italy to see an important email and in that
emergency situation Google sharif will be asking you to add a security code
sent on your mobile number. So, if the roaming service has been activated on
your SIM card you will receive the SMS otherwise you may be in a difficult
situation.

● To make a transaction through a bank app you will need to add "one time
password (OTP)", it would be possible to receive SMS in Italy on roaming
activated SIM from PAK and you would be able to make bank transactions.

● When you enter in Italy you definitely would need to contact someone or want
to use available WiFi on train stations. Otherwise you would have to buy an
Italian SIM card that is way too much costly on the stations. But if you have a
SIM card from Pakistan with roaming activated, you would be able to login on
WiFi at stations (it also needs a code sent on your number) and you would be
able to make WhatsApp calls or whatever you want through the internet.

● Although you can make calls and use the internet with roaming activated SIM
in Italy, but it is too costly. Your friends and family members would be able to
send you SMS in Italy on their local charges and you will be more in contact.

How to activate the international roaming before moving out of Pakistan:

*Jazz/Warid: Jazz Prepaid International Roaming can be activated by simply calling

111 Helpline. Prepaid customers can also subscribe to International Roaming by
visiting their nearest Jazz Customer Care Centre or Franchise. You can also activate
your roaming through the JAZZ app for one month.

12
*Ufone: Ufone Prepaid has Pre-activated International Roaming, still it is advised to
call their helpline number "333" to check status on your SIM card before moving out
of the country.

*Zong: You just need to dial *1234# to activate the International Roaming Service
from your phone or you can also request International Roaming activation by dialing
310.

*Telenor: As informed by group members, they don't provide roaming services to

prepaid SIM in italy. You will be having probably two options, either convert your
telenor SIM to postpaid or use the MNP (Mobile Number Portability) to convert on
some other mobile network in Pakistan.

For all those who are already in Italy and they want to activate roaming service on
their SIM from Pakistan, they can apply for roaming through email help of the
network provider or apply through their website or Mobile app.

Jazz/Warid
https://jazz.com.pk/help/find-us/
Zong
https://www.zong.com.pk/international-roaming#:~:text=Before%20leaving
%20Pakistan%2C%20subscribers%20can,222-111%20from%20any%20number.
or
call: 0092-51-111-222-111

You would be needed to mention your CNIC and phone number in application when
requesting through email and It will be activated in 24-48 hours.

Endnote: When you have moved out from Pakistan, incoming calls on your number
will not be free and you will be charged for incoming or outgoing calls.
Roaming options should also be kept "on/always" in your mobile setting.

12 **A guide that will help you to find a better accommodation**

First of all, the most difficult part of all is the language since nobody, and especially
landlords, who are usually older, do not speak English.
Do not sign the contract for more than one month while you are arriving
for the first time here in italy.

So, I would suggest you to contact first with messages and emails using
Google translate to help you.

13
 Here I am sending you some websites that most people in Italy use for finding a
place to live. Some of them (like cercoalloggio) are private which means they will ask
you to pay also one rent to them.

In all of them you can find both rooms in a shared apartment or whole apartments, it
depends on what you prefer.

● https://www.subito.it/

● https://www.idealista.it/

● https://cercoalloggio.com/

● https://www.bakeca.it/

● https://housinganywhere.com/

● https://www.casa.it/

● https://www.affitto.it/

● https://www.immobiliare.it/

In general let me say that a room in a shared apartment costs 170-270 euro without
the bills, while a whole apartment 400-600 euro without the bills.

On the other hand, Each region has specific places to give to students for the
accommodation. For Puglia region, on the basis of a yearly Call for applications,
ADISU Puglia provides benefits and services, e.g. scholarships, total/partial tax
exemption, housing services, catering services, international mobility contribution,
regional tax for the right to study.
More details are available directly through the ADISU Puglia website:

Further Q & A
Q: What is DoV?

14
A: Declaration of value is a certificate provided from the Italian embassy which shows the
compatibility of your degree and education system with the Italian education system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Is there any other option other than DoV? How much does it cost?
A: Yes. Centro Informazioni Mobilità Equivalenze Accademiche (CIMEA) is another option.
Process is given above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q : Is it necessary to have a degree for DoV?
A: Yes, you should have a degree.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: DoV is a requirement of the embassy or university?
A: It's a requirement of university.Some universities exempt you to provide dov or its
alternative certificate. You should confirm it from your university.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: My master degree is from abroad (apart from EU) and I am from sindh/balochistan
and the consulate is not providing DoV based on equivalence certificate issued from
HEC. What should I do?
A: You should send an email to the Italian embassy in that country. Ask them about applying
for DoV. They will guide you about documents. You will need your original degree and
transcript.
The requirement will change from country to country where the Italian embassy or consulate
is. For example, in China, the embassy will ask you to give the original master degree
translated and legalised from MOFA with verifications from CDGDC and CHESICC. While in
Thailand, you are only asked for a master degree and transcript attested from MOFA and
their legalised translation.
So send an email to the embassy, ask them for details. Book an appointment, give authority
to your friend/someone whom you know and he/she will go to the embassy to apply for DoV
on your behalf.
Option 2: you can go for CIMEA certificate instead of DoV if you can not get DOV from the
concerned country.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: DoV will be awarded for the last degree or all the previous degrees? And the
reason for DoV/Equievelance?
A: DoV will be awarded for your last degree. In the case of a PhD, it will be awarded for your
Master degree. In the case of a Master degree, it will be awarded for a Bachelor degree.
However, in DoV form, you can list down all your previous degree’s names
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Is there any difference between a scholarship letter and an official university
letter?
A: Most of the time, your admission letter, scholarship letter or official university letter are the
same. It should include the scholarship amount, your degree program and university name.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: where can I take appointments for Visa and DoV? Do we have to register on the
Italian embassy website ?
A: islamabad.vistudio@esteri.it
visti.islamabad@esteri.it
These are the embassy's official email addresses. Send them an email and wait for a
reply. You don't have to register on a website or anything like that.

once a week.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Is it compulsory to have a DOV even if you have a previous degree from a

accommodation charges (until it's an industrial project where the company can arrange it for
you). In fact in the start you people have to bear many expenses on your own e.g. resident

euro should be enough for an average city.

Q1- Can I apply for DOV based on the Equivalence certificate issued by
HEC at the Karachi consulate, in case my last degree is from abroad?

ANS: No, you can’t. The Karachi consulate provides DOV only to those who
have obtained/completed their degrees from the universities located within the
Sindh/Balochistan region.

Q2- My last degree is from abroad and the Karachi consulate isn’t
providing me DOV, so what should I do?

ANS: You should apply for the CIMEA’S statement of comparability. However,
prior to applying, make sure your host university is accepting the CIMEA”S
statement as alternative to DOV. Just simply write an email to your coordinator.

Q3- I belong to the province Sindh, but completed my last degree from the
university located in the Punjab/KPK region. Can I apply for DOV at
Karachi consulate?

ANS: YES, you can apply.

Q4- Can I somehow bypass the appointment system to visit Gerry’s, I am

trying everyday but unable to find a free slot?

ANS: No, you can’t. The guards on the main door won’t let you go inside without
an appointment. In such a situation, it is recommended to ask your host
university for assistance. Secondly, you can write an email to the consulate and
request them for an immediate appointment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Is it necessary to verify the degrees from university first for HEC attestation?

HEC does it on their own too. If your transcript didn't contain the signature of the Head of
department and controller of examination then you should verify it from these two person's.

Q) What is the procedure for cancellation of enrollment from university “A” and
getting enrolled in another university “B”.
A:
Case 1) Enrollment completed at the university and yet have not submitted the pre-

The right procedure is to inform your PhD administration office person, one who has been in
contact with you for other administrative stuff along with your coordinator. In general, a PhD
withdrawal form has to be submitted in case of cancellation of enrollment. This form will be
provided by the PhD office. This step may vary from university to university. After the
confirmation email from the PhD office of cancellation of enrollment, one is officially allowed
to enroll in another university.
Case 2) Enrollment completed at the university along with submission of pre-enrollment
form.
In order to apply at another university, the steps are:
Contact where you submitted your application (University A) and have your application
rejected. If the application has already been submitted to the embassy, the University must
first revoke the submission and then reject the application.
Then You can submit a new complete application at the new university (University B). There
will also be an option for submission of new pre-enrollment summary at universitaly forum.
