Frequently Asked Questions
EU/EEA citizens do not require a student visa but have to register with local authorities if they remain more than 90 days. Programs that are above 90 days require a student visa for non-EU students. Any studies over 90 days require a visa for US citizens. In cases of less than 90 days' stay, a Schengen tourist visa might not be necessary in case of language courses.
The application fee for the Italian student visa is 60 euros. This is the normal Schengen long-stay visa price. Other consulates will impose extra service fees. Before travelling to Italy, a visa is obtained at the Italian consulate or embassy in your country of residence.
You need to show financial resources of about 448-500 per month of your stay in the country (about 5500-6000 per year). Bank statements, scholarship letters, or evidence of financial sponsorship may demonstrate this. The specific figure depends on the region that you will study.
In Italy, public universities are relatively cheap, with fees of between 850 and 4000 yearly for both undergraduate and graduate degrees. The prices are usually based on the family income (ISEE assessment). The private universities are much more expensive, between 6000 and 20000+ per year. The specialized programs can be more expensive.
The average processing time is 2-8 weeks, depending on the workload of the consulate and country. The consulates of Italy have few slots available in terms of appointments, so apply early enough - preferably 3-4 months before your program. Some consulates use third-party services to provide visa services.
Yes, non-EU students are allowed to work not more than 20 hours per week during their studies and full-time during holidays. Most jobs require a work permit (permesso di lavoro), which your employer usually organizes. It may be a bureaucratic process, and therefore, a good number of students depend on scholarships or family assistance.
Once you get to Italy with your student visa, you have to seek a residence permit (permesso di soggiorno) within 8 days. It is accomplished at the local post office with the help of a special kit. The permit will enable you to remain in Italy as long as your studies last, and it can be renewed in case of necessity.
Living costs vary by city. The cost in northern cities such as Milan is more (€900-1300/month) as compared to southern cities such as Palermo or Bari (€600-900/month). The expenses are accommodation (300-600 euros), food (150-300 euros), transport (25-50 euros with student discounts), and personal expenses.
Yes, it is compulsory health insurance. EU students are allowed to use the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). The non-EU students should be covered by health insurance of at least 30,000 in medical emergencies, hospitalization, and repatriation. It may be Italian public health insurance (around 150/year) or private insurance that satisfies Schengen conditions.
Yes, with an Italian long-stay student visa (Type D), you can travel within the Schengen Area up to 90 days during any 180 days, on top of your stay in Italy. But Italy must be your chief place where you will spend the greater part of your time in study.
