Italy Study Visa 2027: Admission and Visa Updates

Summary

The video provides updates for students planning to study in Italy for the September 2026 and September 2027 intakes.

September 2027 admissions

• Applications have opened at several universities, including the University of Padua, a polytechnic university, and the University of Milan. Another Milan institution is mentioned, but its name is unclear in the subtitles.
• The host recommends applying early if your documents are ready. The universities currently accepting applications are described as competitive, and applicants with grades above 70 may meet the stated academic thresholds.
• More universities are expected to open applications in November. Some institution names in the subtitles are unclear; Geneva and Turin are mentioned as having opened around that time the previous year.

IMAT and medical-school admissions

• IMAT results are out, and universities have begun publishing rankings. The host says rankings started appearing on October 26.
• Cutoffs have reportedly risen at many universities:
  • Some universities may require scores above 70 out of 90.
  • The University of Cagliari is cited with a cutoff of 61, though the host cautions that seats are limited.
  • The University of Milan is described as having the highest cutoff, above 80.
• Applicants are advised to choose their university carefully. According to the host, the same university must be used for admission, pre-enrollment, and the visa appointment, and applicants cannot switch later. The choice should reflect the applicant’s likely score.
• Because IMAT results arrive late and visa deadlines are close, successful applicants are advised to complete the required credential process—referred to in the subtitles as “DUV or CHEMIA”—and apply for a visa promptly. Some consulates may have few or no appointment slots.

Visa and enrollment guidance for 2026

• Many students have reportedly received visas and arrived in Italy, while some applicants—especially those who applied in or after late August—are still waiting for a response. Processing may take one or two months.
• Classes have started, but the host says arriving after classes begin may still be manageable, particularly for students whose exams are in January.
• The stated visa deadline is November 30. Students are urged to book an appointment and submit their visa file before then. The video specifically recommends applying before November 13.
• If appointment slots are unavailable, the host suggests contacting the embassy repeatedly or asking the university to help request an appointment.
• Students should check their university’s enrollment portal to confirm whether enrollment is mandatory. The host warns that missing a required enrollment step could put admission at risk. Some universities may also charge an administrative fee; the subtitles give an amount of roughly Rs 150–200, though this figure may be affected by transcription errors.
• Provisional final rankings for some regional scholarships have been released. Students are advised to check the results for their region.
