Preparing an Italy visa application from Morocco? Check the visa options, supporting documents and official process for your trip. Our paid online service helps you prepare your evidence, review the consistency of your file and get ready for your visa appointment.

Third-country nationals outside the European Union who wish to travel to Italy must, where they are subject to the visa requirement, hold a valid visa when entering the territory. The visa category to request varies according to the purpose of travel and the planned length of stay in the Schengen area. Depending on the case, this may be a short-stay visa, a national long-stay visa or a transit visa.

The short-stay visa allows a stay in the Schengen area for a maximum of 90 days in any 180-day period. It is mainly issued for tourism, visits to relatives or business trips, without granting the right to carry out paid professional activity.

The Italian long-stay visa is intended for people wishing to stay more than 90 days in Italy, particularly for family reunification, higher education or professional opportunities.

Finally, the transit visa is required by the Italian authorities for travellers who need to make a stopover in one of Italy airports before continuing their journey to a final destination outside the Schengen area.

Italy is in the Schengen zone

Italy is part of the Schengen zone, so a visa for Italy can also allow travel across other Schengen countries. Your main destination should still match your application. Processing times, appointment availability and evidence expectations can vary between member states, so check the requirements against your real itinerary.

6 steps
  1. 1
    Obtain an invitation letter from the host establishment in Italy

    The business visa applicant must first obtain an invitation letter from the host company in Italy, signed by its legal representative. This document must be accompanied by an extract from the Italian commercial register, the Visura Camerale, and a copy of the legal representative identity document.

    Pre-verification of the travel document

    The first step in the Italy visa application procedure is to complete a preliminary form on the VFS Global platform, entering the applicant general information, passport details and the type of visa requested. The applicant must then upload the first page of the passport, the identification page containing personal information, and, where applicable, Schengen visas obtained during the last 59 months. All this information and documentation is then sent to the VFS Contact centre for preliminary file verification, known as pre-check. At the end of this step, the applicant receives a reference code allowing them to book an appointment and track the progress of the application.

  3. 3
    Book an appointment on VFS Global

    Once preliminary document verification has been completed, the applicant can access the VFS Global appointment calendar. The applicant can then select and book a suitable appointment from the available slots offered by the visa application centre, then pay the VFS Global service fee to confirm the booking.

  4. 4
    Complete the visa application form

    The visa application form for Italy must be downloaded, printed and duly completed by the applicant. All information entered must be accurate, complete and consistent with the supporting documents provided in the visa application file.

  5. 5
    Submit the file to VFS Global

    On the appointment day, the applicant must appear in person at the VFS Global centre to submit the complete visa application file.

  6. 6
    Collect the passport from the VFS Global centre

    Once the decision has been issued, the visa applicant can collect the passport from the visa application centre or choose return by courier service. For in-person collection, the applicant must present the centre receipt and identity document.
