How to obtain a tourist visa for Italy

To enter Italy, non-EU citizens must submit a visa application to the relevant Embassy or Consulate, attaching a series of mandatory documents.
Among the most important are:

• The bank or insurance guarantee, which proves that you have the financial resources needed to stay in Italy.

These two documents are indispensable to obtain a tourist visa and must be issued by authorised intermediaries.
