Here is a sample of the Schengen visa:
The 90/180 rule is a key guideline for travellers with a Schengen visa, determining how long you can stay within the Schengen Area. It states that you can remain in the Schengen Zone for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. These 90 days can be used consecutively or spread across multiple trips, but your total stay cannot exceed 90 days within any rolling 180-day timeframe.

Yes, travel insurance is mandatory when applying for an Italian tourist visa. Additionally, the travel insurance must meet the following criteria:
The minimum coverage shall be €30,000.00.
The insurance shall be valid throughout the territory of the Schengen States.
It should cover the entire period of the person’s intended stay or transit in the Schengen Area.
The travel insurance should cover any expenses that might arise in connection with repatriation for medical reasons, urgent medical attention, emergency hospital treatment, or death during the stay(s) on the territory of the Member States.
Note: Ensure the Schengen countries recognise your insurance provider. You can find a list of approved Indian travel insurance companies on the government website.
For an Italian tourist visa, you must demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to cover your stay in the Schengen Area. Based on the Italian subsistence table, here are the minimum funds you require for an Italian visa:
For stays of 1 to 5 days: A fixed amount of €269.60 is required, which is reduced to €212.81 if you travel with others.
For stays of 6 to 10 days: You need a daily amount of €44.93 or €26.33 per person if travelling with others.
For stays of 11 to 20 days: You need a fixed amount of €51.64 plus a daily amount of €36.67. If travelling with others, the fixed amount is reduced to €25.82 and the daily amount to €22.21 per person.
For stays longer than 20 days: You require a fixed amount of €206.58 and a daily amount of €27.89. If travelling with others, this is reduced to a fixed amount of €118.79 and a daily amount of €17.04 per person.
To show that you have enough funds, you can submit the following:
Bank statements: Provide signed and stamped bank statements from the last 3 months. You can request these from your bank in person or, if available, via online banking for stamped digital copies. Ensure the statements clearly reflect your financial stability and ability to cover your travel expenses.
Investments and mutual funds: If you have mutual funds, fixed deposits, or other investments, submit official statements from your financial institution. These documents should detail the current value of your assets and be signed and stamped by the issuing institution

No, an interview is not required when applying for an Italy Schengen visa.
However, in special circumstances, such as when there are discrepancies in your application or if the visa officer deems it necessary for further assessment, an interview may be requested. This is generally to clarify details or gather more information to ensure the integrity and accuracy of your application.
To increase the likelihood of your Italian visa application being approved, make sure to steer clear of these common mistakes:
Incomplete documents: Having documents with missing or false information can cause visa rejection. Always double-check that all required documents are accurate, complete, and meet the specified requirements.
Insufficient financial proof: It is vital to have sufficient funds for your trip to Schengen. Make sure you clearly demonstrate that you have enough funds to cover your stay in Italy.
Unrealistic or inconsistent itinerary: Since the Schengen area consists of 29 countries, you must clearly indicate your travel plans, including your place of stay, booked flights, and planned activities in each country.
Lack of travel insurance: Secure comprehensive travel insurance that meets the mandatory coverage requirements.
Unclear purpose of visit: Be clear and precise about the purpose of your visit, your itinerary, and your reasons for visiting. The purpose of the visit can be mentioned in various documents, such as an invitation letter or travel itinerary.
If you lose your passport with an Italian visa while travelling, you should immediately report the loss to the local police and obtain a police report. After that, you must visit the nearest Indian embassy or consulate to apply for an emergency passport. Also, contact the Italian consulate to inform them of the loss and inquire about the possibility of reissuing the visa.
Tip: Always keep photocopies of your passport, visa, and other important documents in a secure place, separate from the originals, to make the replacement process easier.
Yes, you can bring your pet to Italy with a Schengen visa. Italy is known as one of the most dog-friendly countries in the Schengen Area, making it the ideal destination for travelling with your pet. However, there are specific requirements you must meet:
Microchip: Your pet must be microchipped with an ISO 11784/11785 compliant 15-digit pet microchip.
Rabies vaccination: Your pet must be vaccinated against rabies, which must be administered at least 21 days before travel.
EU pet passport: Your pet must have an EU pet passport if you travel from an EU country. If you travel from outside the EU, a third-country official veterinary certificate is required.
Tapeworm treatment: Dogs must be treated for tapeworm 24-120 hours before entering Italy.
Tip: Check the specific pet import requirements for Italy and the Schengen Area well before your trip to ensure compliance.
Yes, you can check your Italy visa status online using the Axis visa status tracking tool within two minutes.
If your visa gets rejected, you can address the situation in a few different ways depending on the rejection reasons:
Reapply for your visa: After your visa is rejected, you can submit a new application once you have addressed the reasons for the rejection. When doing so, ensure all your documents are complete and accurate before reapplying. If your visa was rejected due to minor issues, such as missing or incomplete documents, you have a high chance of getting it approved once you reapply.
Appeal the rejection: Alternatively, you can appeal the decision within 60 days of the rejection. To do this, gather any missing documents or additional information and write a compelling appeal letter explaining why your visa should be approved.
For further details, read our complete guide on the Schengen visa reapplication and appeal process.
Yes, you can apply for a Schengen visa even if you overstayed a previous one. However, you must be prepared to explain the circumstances of the overstay and provide evidence that it was unintentional or unavoidable. A clear and honest explanation, supported by relevant documents (such as medical records if the overstay was due to health reasons), can help reduce the negative impact of a previous overstay on your new application.
If you need to extend your stay in Italy for medical reasons, you can apply for a visa extension at the local immigration office. To do so, you will need to provide the following documents:
Medical certificate: Obtain a certificate from an Italian medical professional explaining the medical necessity for your extended stay.
Proof of insurance: Provide evidence that your travel insurance covers the additional period of your stay.
Financial proof: Show you sufficient funds to support yourself during the extended stay.
Tip: Apply for the extension before your current visa expires, and ensure all your documentation is thorough and convincing to increase your chances of approval.
