| 1) Citizens of the European community,
(and also Saint Marino, the Holy See and Switzerland): No problem
concerning income, residence, studying and working in Italy. |
2) Citizens of Andorra, Argentine,
Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Cyprus,
South Korea, Costa Rica, Croatia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Estonia, Japan,
Guatemala, Honduras, Israel, Latonia, Lithuania, Malaysia, Malta,
Mexico, Monaco, Nicaragua, New Zealand, Panama, Paraguay, Poland,
Czech Republic, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, United States,
Hungary, Uruguay, Venezuela.
You can enter Italy with a tourist visa, valid for a maximum period
of 90 days |
3) Those who wish to stay in Italy
for longer than 90 days, and citizens of all other countries not listed
require:
Compulsory Il Visto di Studio (Visa permit, approval to study)
The STUDY APPROVAL is necessary
Previewed between “Visa for longer duration
residence” and “Nationals” (VN) or “only
for stays longer than 90days” (D type)
If the student enters under a tourist permit, (therefore without
the study approval), normally the school does not check whether students have the study permit or not. In theory there are no problems
enrolling into a school for a period longer than 90days, however
the student will have to take responsibility for being in the country
without the proper permission to stay. Which carries the risk of
being expelled and deported!!

How
to obtain the Study Approval
The permit must be applied for at the Italian Consulate
in your country of origin. You will need to present a
receipt from the Italian school where you have enrolled, attesting to the payment of the enrolment fee, the duration and type
of course, the start date, and the address of the school. The
consulate may require (at the discretion of the country of origin)
an insurance policy for the duration of your stay in Italy and a form
of economic guarantee (bank statement with sufficient funds). The
visa is obtained within approximately 90 days.
It is easy to obtain the permit in nearly all countries, (in recent
years it has become difficult for Middle Eastern countries). The
student may be subject to various appraisals and requests depending
on the country of origin; it is rare that the visa will is not granted
to applicants. Therefore if you want to study in Italy for a period
longer than 90 days and you do not have citizenship with the European
community, you must address the Italian consulate within your country
of origin. With the Study approval visa permit, you can remain in Italy for the duration of the course, but please note that
non EC Nationals are not permitted to work!!
|
There are, however, possibilities
for students to find part time work (without permits) especially in bars, pubs,
restaurant, discotheques, tourist shops, markets
etc... If you want to work, have an adventurous spirit and you are
bright, there isn’t a problem!!
Nobody will put you in jail, the maximum penalty is to be sent home, or even expelled from Italy, without having to pay for
your return airline ticket!! |
