What are required papers to get a visa for Italy?
Dears,
Merry Christmas for all of you.
I'm travelling to Italy next month as a visiting student for one of the Italian universities and I need someone to tell me what I required papers should I prepare to apply for the visa!
Anyway, I'm Egyptian and working here in Qatar. I guess it will be a student visa as I got an official letter from the Italian university to support my application.
So I'm asking those who has experience; what papers should I prepare and how long will it take to get the visa?
Thank you all!
Mohammed
