Italian entry visas can be obtained from:
  • Italian Embassies or Consulates in your country of origin and/or residence;
  • the Embassies or Consulates of states party to the Schengen Agreement, for stays of no more than three months;
When absolutely necessary, the Italian border police will issue a residence permit for up to 10 days or for up to 5 days if you are passing through Italy to another country.

When you are issued with your visa, you will receive a written statement of your rights and obligations regarding entry into and residence in Italy.
