Visa Application Due: May 3
Unless you’re a European Union citizen, you will need a visa to
study abroad. While you will need to prepare the visa application
and supporting documents, we’ll apply for the visa on your
behalf!
What this means for you is that instead of making an appointment
and going to the consulate yourself to submit your application,
you'll simply submit a completed application along with the
required supporting documents to the Office of Global Studies by
May 3. We'll then apply on your behalf at our scheduled group
application appointment.
The visa processing fee is $200.00 and will be applied
to your student account.
Please let us know if you are applying for the Italian visa on
your own as there are additional steps and requirements you'll need
to take into consideration. If you decide to apply for a visa
on your own, you will be responsible for the cost of the Permesso
di Soggiorno which is €190 (approximately $250) as well as
completing the visa application process (including making and
attending the visa appointment).
Step 1: Complete the visa application
and collect all required documents
Please use this application and checklist as it contains details
regarding each requirement. We can only accept completed
application packets (this includes your passport) so make sure the
appropriate forms are notarized and you’ve made all the necessary
photocopies (we can help with the photocopying if need be). Follow
the checklist exactly and you shouldn’t have any
issues!

Step 2: Submit your completed

9:00am - 4:00pm (Monday –

Step 3: Pick-up your passport with
affixed Italian visa

visa) will be available for pickup during the first week of July.
