2024/2025 Academic Year: Italy University Pre-Enrollment and Visa Process

For students planning to pursue university education or participate in Erasmus+ mobility programs in Italy, significant updates have been made to the pre-enrollment and visa processes for the 2024/2025 academic year.

Mandatory Pre-Enrollment via Universitaly Portal

University pre-enrollment applications will now be conducted online through the UNIVERSITALY portal. Applications will no longer be accepted in person at Embassies or Consulates.

Application Process

  1. Registration on the Universitaly System:
    Students must access the UNIVERSITALY portal and complete their online registration.
  2. Approval by the Host University:
    Applications submitted through the portal will be forwarded to the student’s chosen Italian university. The host university will review the application, upload the acceptance letter, and complete the pre-enrollment process.
  3. Preparing Documents for Visa Applications:
    Once the pre-enrollment process is approved, students will receive a confirmation email from [email protected]. They must present this email along with the relevant documents from the Universitaly system when applying for a visa.

Visa Application

Visa applications for education or university purposes must be submitted through iDATA, the service provider authorized by the Italian Embassy. For details, visit: https://idata.com.tr/it/.

If a diploma equivalency document is required, students can apply for it through iDATA by submitting the necessary documents during the visa application process.

Important Reminders

  • Receiving an acceptance from an Italian university does not guarantee the issuance of a visa.
