Welcome to the home page of Italian Visa Application Center. This site is designed to offer a range of services which would make the visa application procedure simple, accessible and more convenient for visa applicants.

At present, applicants residing in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Hainan provinces can schedule their interview appointments through our application center in Guangzhou. Our Application Center is open from Monday through Friday and no prior appointments are necessary to submit the application. We also offer courier service for return of passports at your doorstep at additional cost.

Once you have applied for a visa through our Application Center, you can track the status of your passport online.

Where do I have to apply for my visa?
Visas have to be applied at the Italian mission abroad covering the place of residence of the applicant.

As a rule the residence is defined as the place a person is living in and working at. If the normal abode is not in agreement with the place of issue of the passport, the applicant is asked to present a residence permit issued at least six months prior to application. The Italian Consulate may require extra documents (working contract, house property) to support residence permit.
