About the Program
New Italy Visa Process Starting Fall 2025
The Italian Senate recently approved a Legislative Decree that will significantly impact the visa application process for students studying in Italy for more than 90 days. As of January 10, 2025, students must appear in person at their consulate for fingerprinting, making batch processing—such as IES Abroad's ACCeSS program—impossible.
However, as of February 13th, we have learned that discussions on potential modifications of the legislative decree are taking place and an update will be provided soon.
In the meantime, we are exploring interim solutions for Fall 2025 and Spring 2026, including potential program length adjustments, and are closely monitoring updates. We will keep applicants, students, and school partners informed.
