What is the purpose of a bank or insurance guarantee and why must I subscribe to one?
Is a Health Insurance Policy also needed, and what should its duration be?
For all individuals outside the Schengen Area who need to obtain a Visa for study reasons, work visa (up to 12 months), sports activities, or hospitalization, it is necessary to set up a bank guarantee to obtain the visa to stay and study in Italy.
The Bank Guarantee must be presented to the Italian Embassy in the foreign citizen’s country of residence and serves to ensure the means of subsistence for the entire period the foreign citizen remains in Italian territory.
On March 1, 2000, the Ministry of the Interior issued a Directive, which defines the amounts and methods of subsistence needed by a foreign citizen wishing to stay in Italy and throughout the Schengen Area.
