An Italy Visit Visa, a short-stay Schengen Visa (Type C), allows non-EU citizens to enter Italy for a maximum of 90 days. This visa is for those who want to visit for tourism, see family or friends, attend meetings, get medical care, or participate in events. Unless restricted to Italy, you can also travel to other Schengen countries. You need to apply for this visa before your trip and provide documents such as your travel plans, proof of funds, and where you will be staying. It is required for citizens of countries that are not visa-exempt for the Schengen Area.
