How to get a visa to Italy:
Since Italy is part of the European Union, and a member state of the Schengen Area, you will have to apply for an Italian Schengen Visa. The process is similar to applying for visas for other countries. Two city-states that are located within Italy, but governed as a country by their own internal laws include the Vatican City and San Marino, which also fall within the Schengen Area and can be visited on your Italy visa. Although we hope you are going to Italy purely for holiday purposes, there are business visas and medical visas as well, depending upon your reason of visiting. Planning to visit Milan?
