All foreign nationals, i.e. all citizens who do not belong to European Union member states, who intend to come to Italy, must apply for an entry visa at the Italian diplomatic and consular representations in the foreigner’s country of origin or permanent residence. In order to find out whether you need a visa to enter Italy, visit ‘The visa for Italy’. By indicating your citizenship, your country of permanent residence, the duration and the reason for your stay in Italy, you can check whether you need a visa to enter Italy. For each type of visa you will also find useful information on the documentation to be presented.
