What is a surety bond?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first time you hear this term you may feel a little lost, since it is not in common use and can give rise to a general sense of reluctance.
That is why today we will explain what a bank surety bond is, who can request it and, above all, what its costs are.

The term surety bond refers to <\/span>a specific guarantee issued by a guarantor or surety on behalf of another party who thereby becomes the contracting party,<\/b> in this way securing an obligation \u2013 which consists of a payment \u2013 on the part of the party who benefits from the surety bond.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does it mean in plain terms?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It means that the surety becomes the “guarantor” and will pay, with their own money, a debt that the contracting party may incur.
<\/span>
<\/span>Therefore, <\/span>a bank surety bond means a guarantee agreement issued to a contracting party by a banking credit institution.<\/b>
<\/b>So a party goes to the bank and requests the bank surety bond; in doing so they undertake to pay a set amount each month so that the bank guarantees to a third party the recovery of the money spent, in the event of default by the party who requested the surety bond.
<\/span>
<\/span>To be able to request the surety bond you will need to go to a credit institution \u2013 subject to its timeframes and procedures \u2013 or rely on a specialised agency. <\/span>We at Italia Fideiussioni are here precisely to <\/span>enable you to request the surety bond best suited to whatever your need may be.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When is it appropriate to request a surety bond?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many cases in which it is necessary \u2013 if not mandatory \u2013 to request a bank or insurance surety bond, while in other cases it is a matter of judgement \u2013 such as when a surety bond is requested <\/span>in order to rent accommodation under a lease.<\/b>
<\/b>Below we briefly look at some cases in which a surety bond is requested:<\/span>

Study visa for non-Schengen students<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In order to obtain a visa for students<\/a> from outside the Schengen area who wish to study in Italy, there are guidelines that must be followed scrupulously.
The importance of this visa lies in its duration \u2013 different from that of a tourist visa<\/a>, which is 90 days \u2013 and different from a work visa \u2013 valid up to the duration of the employment contract \u2013 the latter being a visa that can be extended and renewed as long as the studies continue, and which therefore requires additional checks.
To be able to study in Italy you will therefore need to apply for an Entry Visa at the Embassy or Consulate of the country of origin located in Italy.
