About VISA

To enter Italy, all non-EU citizens must have a valid passport and Study Visa issued by the competent Italian Diplomatic Authorities in their country of origin. The Study Visa must be valid for the entire duration of the LL.M.

Please note that the competent Italian Diplomatic Authorities, in some countries, require the possession of a Declaration of Value as a precondition to the issue of a Study Visa. As the issuance of a Declaration of Value sometimes has proven to be a lengthy process, consequently the issue of a Study visa, at times, may take a longer than anticipated time period, stretching even up to 6 months. We therefore recommend prospective students to enquire about the procedure of the issuance of a Declaration of Value, and if necessary undertake the same, as soon as they have tendered in their LL.M. Application forms.

Residence permit

Participants entering Italy on a Study Visa must apply for a residence permit ("permesso di soggiorno") within 8 days of their arrival.

Detailed information on the procedure and documents required for the Permesso di Soggiorno will be provided only to selected candidates upon acceptance.

Insurance and health care

When applying for the study visa before leaving your country, you may be required to provide evidence of your capability to cover all possible expenses related to medical assistance.

Detailed information on the procedure and documents required for the issuance of the health insurance will be provided only to selected candidates upon acceptance.
