These documents are essential for verifying the equivalence of foreign qualifications and ensuring eligibility for enrollment.

5. Apply for a Visa

Perspective students can book an appointment with the competent Italian Embassy/Consulate for the Visa application after the pre-enrolment application through Universitaly has been validated by the International Student Office of the University of Tuscia.
The decision on issuing a Visa for study purposes is the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent Italian Embassy/Consulate and the confirmation of acceptance that students will receive in reply to their online application is to be considered a supporting document to the Visa assessment procedures but does not automatically guarantee Visa issuance.
To obtain an entry visa for study purposes for University enrolment and, subsequently, of a residency permit, the foreign student must prove being in possession of economic means for subsistence during the planned stay. These means are quantified as € 467.65 per month for each month of duration of the academic year, equal to € 6,079.45 per year.
Students can access further details regarding this process in the Circular on the procedures for entry, residency, and enrolment of international students, as well as the recognition of qualifications for higher education courses in Italy. This circular is annually published by the Ministry of Universities and Research and can be found at this link.
