Italy Student Visa

Students who are planning to study in Italy; it is generally difficult for them to obtain detailed information about the student visa. Recently, they gave me a scholarship and I have gone through my visa process, so I wanted to share this information with other students for their benefits.

Today, the Italian Embassy in Pakistan has long been in the process of visa (from one to four months). Though, students can save time if they give all necessary documents together the documents to obtain a visa and DSV, ahead of time.

These are the customary documents that asked for student visa of Italy.

These are as follows:
