Visa Application available here: NATIONAL VISA APPLICATION FORM 2021
Please check the “General information” section to be informed about the amount of the VISA fee.
One return envelope per household is sufficient.
Processing can take up to 90 days.
Please note that family members of a religious visa applicant (such as spouses, children, or dependents) cannot apply for a religious visa unless they personally perform official religious functions within a recognized institution.
Family members who are dependents or accompanying persons only must instead apply for family reunification (ricongiungimento familiare) through the Sportello Unico per l’Immigrazione (Unified Immigration Desk) in Italy.
The family visa application may be submitted only after the nulla osta (authorization) has been issued by the Italian authorities.
For additional information on the nulla osta and the family reunification process, please refer to the official website of the Ministero dell’Interno or contact the relevant Sportello Unico per l’Immigrazione in Italy.
