Visa Requirements
All international students who want to study at the European School of Economics in Italy have to provide proof that they have either the legal right or legal permission from the Italian government to study in Italy.
Do You Need a Visa?
If you are a European citizen, you do not have to apply for either a study visa or a Residence Permit but must provide a valid copy of your passport or national ID.
If you are a non-European citizen, you must have a study visa and apply within 8 days for your residence permit.
During your enrolment process, our Student Service Department will provide important information about your stay in Italy.
They will assist all of our International students to understand what documents have to be collected before applying for a visa according to the official Visa website “Visto Per L’Italia”.
Please note that it is the student’s responsibility to start the Visa process in due time. Considering that it could be a long process, we advise students to apply on time.
Citizens of the following countries applying for a Short Course programme do not need a study visa, as students may stay in Italy for under 90 days without a visa.
Residence Permit
Within 8 days of a student’s arrival in Italy, the first step is to apply for a Residence Permit (Permesso di Soggiorno). This residence permit allows students to legally study and live in Italy for a specific timeframe.
Applying for an Italian Residence Permit is very simple:
Students need to go to a Post Office and ask for a “Permesso di Soggiorno Kit”, a white envelope with some forms. You will find there are two forms: international students will have to fill in only Modulo 1 and provide a copy of:
- passport (all pages),
- health insurance covering the period of stay (same provided during the Visa application),
- copy of the enrolment letter,
- proof of financial support (you can submit the same document you used to obtain your visa).
Our Student Services Department will assist you in filling in the form and provide all the necessary information to ensure the submission is properly prepared.
Alternatively, students could also refer to the Sportello Amico a dedicated desk at the Post Office where they can receive assistance from the officer in charge.
Once these steps are completed, the Post Office will issue the residence permit receipt along with a fingerprinting appointment letter.
Please note: receipt of the residence permit application is the legal proof that the request is under process. Students must take the receipt with them and they are reminded that it is essential to attend the fingerprinting appointment at the Central Immigration Police Station (Rome, Florence, Milan).
