Requesting D Type visa for study in Italy has to be done through the UNIVERSITALY web platform where you will indicate University of Naples Federico II as host institution and EMJMD SEAS 4.0. In STEP C of the procedure you will have to upload the following documents:

  1. Your passport, the document has to be valid at least for other 3 months after the planned date of exit from Schengen Area,

After the verification, the University of Naples will notify the local Italian Embassy as indicated by you on the Universitaly.it web platform.

Please, check on https://vistoperitalia.esteri.it/home/en where is your nearest Embassy, documents required and administrative costs of the VISA procedure. Please note, that these costs are not covered by the scholarship. For obtaining your VISA it will be generally requested:

  • to fill the VISA request form;
