An Italy tourist visa is a short-stay visa that allows travelers to visit Italy for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. This visa is ideal for tourists who want to explore Italy’s rich history, art, and world-famous cuisine. To apply, applicants usually need a valid passport, proof of accommodation (such as hotel bookings or an invitation letter), a return flight ticket, and travel medical insurance. The visa application is submitted at the Italian embassy or consulate in your home country. Processing times may vary, so it is recommended to apply well before your planned travel date.
