ITALY VISA SERVICE
An Italian tourist visa allows you to stay in Italy or the Schengen area for up to 90 days within 180 days.
Extending a visa while in Italy can be challenging. Exiting the Schengen Area first and then applying for a new visa can be comparatively easier.
In case of getting a rejection on your Italy visa application, you will receive a written explanation for the same. With the reasons for the denial in hand, you can either appeal the decision or reapply. And, if you plan to reapply, don’t do it without making necessary adjustments to address the rejection reasons.
Indeed. Travel insurance is an essential requirement to apply for an Italy Tourist visa. It will cover your medical expenses, trip cancellations, delays, lost luggage, and more.
With Traveller’s Café by your side, you will have a visa application assistant so you don’t need to worry. We can assist you in gathering the required documents, filling out the application forms, booking your flights, and hotel and booking emergency appointments.
No. While on a tourist visa, you can stay in Italy solely for tourism purposes. Tourists are explicitly prohibited from engaging in work or academic studies during their stay.
