Candidate eligibility

During the video consultation call, our experts will conduct a thorough assessment of the candidate’s eligibility. We verify whether they possess the necessary qualifications to obtain the visa.

Furthermore, the scientific research visa requires sponsorship from an authorized research institution. Our consultants will therefore review the hosting agreement signed with the researcher to ensure it contains all the mandatory information for immigration purposes.

When assessing the applicant’s eligibility, please note that certain categories of foreigners who already hold work visas are excluded from applying for a visa.

Planning the arrival to Italy

The specific timeline varies from case to case, but the general steps are:

  1. DOCUMENTS COLLECTION
  2. NULLAOSTA OBTAINMENT (30 days)
