Expert Answers
Why should I consider studying in Italy as an Indian student?
→Indian students consider Italy for its historic universities, income-based tuition at many public universities, strength in design, fashion and architecture, industry-linked research, and degrees within the European Higher Education Area, where recognition depends on each destination country's procedures. Student experience is another draw.
Which entrance exam do I need for English-taught medicine programmes in Italy?
→The IMAT (International Medical Admissions Test) is required for admission to English-taught medicine and surgery programmes at participating public universities in Italy. Requirements depend on the university and programme, and English proof such as IELTS, TOEFL or PTE may also be needed.
Which student visa do I need for a course longer than 90 days in Italy, and what is the fee?
→Non-EU students enrolling in programmes longer than 90 days in Italy generally need a National Long-Stay Study Visa (Type D). The visa fee is approximately EUR 50, excluding service charges, and national D visas take longer to process than short-stay visas, so apply well in advance.
How long will my Italian student visa take, and how soon must I apply for a residence permit after arriving?
→The Italian national study visa (Type D) has no fixed published processing time and takes longer than a short-stay visa, so apply well in advance. After reaching Italy, non-EU students must generally apply for a Permesso di Soggiorno (residence permit) within 8 working days of arrival.

Can I get a job search permit in Italy after I finish my studies?
→Yes. International graduates who study in Italy can get a job search permit of 9 to 12 months after finishing their degree. If you find a job during that period, the permit can be converted into a full work permit, so you can keep working in Italy legally.
