To know if you need any documentation to enter Italy, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs offers you an online tool that — based on your (i) nationality, (ii) country of residence, (iii) the length of your stay, and (iv) reasons for your stay — tells you which kind of documentation, if any, you need.

For visa support letters, contact ismis2022@icar.cnr.it. Please allow up to 10 business days to receive a letter. All requests are handled in the order they are received. The information below should be included with the request:
