The full guide
The national long-stay type D 'visto per studio,' for non-EU nationals staying over 90 days at a recognized Italian institution. Consulate-issued before travel, followed by a mandatory post-arrival residence permit (permesso di soggiorno per studio). No points test — eligibility turns on genuine enrollment (validated via the UNIVERSITALY portal for university programs), proof of funds, accommodation, and insurance. Since January 2025, in-person biometric fingerprinting at the consulate is required for most applicants — batch or agent submission no longer works.
Cost: Reported inconsistently across sources in the €50–€116 range depending on consulate/category — verify the exact fee with your specific consulate.
