Study visa

Non-EU students residing abroad are required to submit a pre-enrolment application on Universitaly website within 31 July 2023, under penalty of exclusion. After the validation of the pre-application, they have to apply for study visa at the diplomatic/consular Mission within 30 November 2023.

The final decision on the issue of a visa for study purposes is under the exclusive jurisdiction of the diplomatic/consular Mission. The approval of a pre-enrolment request for a study course and the relative documentation produced by higher education institutions is to be considered a support for the evaluation procedures for study visas of the diplomatic Missions. It does not automatically imply the issue of the visa, inasmuch as the diplomatic-consular Missions, in addition to verifying the possession of the requirements for the issue of a study/enrolment visa, are also obliged to assess the absence of the student's migration risk (D.I. 850/2011 art. 4 paragraph 2).
