Student Visas for Italy
Are you from Bangladesh? You might need a student visa…

Don’t worry, everything is ok. We’re on it, and we’re doing all we can to make your search for the right international degree in Italy a little easier and more enjoyable. Still, while we’re catching up, you can always beat us to it and:

Check if you really need a student visa.
Since you’re from Bangladesh and planning full-time academic study in Italy, yes, you’ll definitely need a student visa (visto per studio).

Start exploring the official Italian government website.
For Bangladeshi applicants, the Italian Embassy in Dhaka handles student visas. That’s where all the latest and most reliable information lives. Bookmark it, read it, reread it.

Check the deadlines.
The visa process can take several weeks, and missing a step or delaying your appointment could mean missing the start of your semester. Not the kind of plot twist you want.

Go on a paperwork treasure hunt.
Passport?
Letter of Acceptance from your Italian institution?
Visa application form, proof of accommodation, bank statements, health insurance, language test results, academic transcripts… yes, the list is long. And yes, you’ll need every single piece.

Start saving up.
You’ll need to show you can financially support yourself while studying in Italy. That means proving you can cover tuition, living expenses, travel, visa fees, and maybe even your weekend gelato cravings.

Boost your language skills.
Even if your program is in English, learning some Italian never hurts. Strong language skills help at your visa interview and make life in Italy so much easier.

All in all, getting your Italian student visa might feel like a lot but it’s one big step toward an even bigger adventure.

Good Luck!
