Visa Requirements
Students who live outside the European Union will need a valid student Schengen Visa to travel to Italy and stay longer than three months. We recommend that you start working on your visa at the Italian Embassy closest to your home as soon as possible. Different Italian embassies, even within the same country, have slightly different requirements, and it can take more time than one would expect to work through them.
For a general description about what you can expect when you contact an embassy, see the Sant'Anna Institute's guidance here.
Obtaining a study visa that allows you to stay in Italy for more than three months requires an acceptance letter from Building Beauty rather than Sant’Anna Institute.
The study visa will be issued only upon demonstration that you:
have a suitable accommodation in Italy
may dispose of enough financial means to support yourself
are entitled to medical care in Italy
possess the amount of money necessary to travel back to your country, or have already purchased a valid return-ticket.
