ITALY’S STUDENT VISA
Tuesday - 16/12/2025
Your student visa application (entry visa) should be prepared as early as possible, once you have received your official letter of admission. In most cases, the Italian study visa is issued through the Italian Embassy or Consulate General in Vietnam.
Study programs in Italy are divided into two categories:
- Short-term programs (less than 90 days);
- Long-term programs (more than 90 days, including Bachelor’s, postgraduate, or other extended courses).
1. For Short-term programs
International students enrolled in short-term programs are still required to apply for a visa; however, no visa fee is charged.
2. For Long-term Programs
Students registering for long-term courses must apply for an Italian student visa. Duc Anh EduConnect will support you in preparing a complete visa application file. In addition, students must apply for a Stay Permit (Permesso di Soggiorno) within 8 days of arriving in Italy.
Required Documents for the Italian Student Visa:
- Completed visa application form, signed by the student;
- Two visa photos (4×6, international standard, white background);
