FAQ
You will have to apply for a Short Stay Schengen Visa, also commonly referred to as a Schengen travel visa.
No. You cannot work on your Schengen travel visa (Visa C).
No. You cannot apply at any other Embassy if you will only be travelling to Italy.
Do keep in mind that you will have to apply for a travel visa through the Embassy of Italy under two situations. These include –
- Italy is your only destination, OR
- Italy is your main destination.
If you will be travelling to and staying in more than one country in the Schengen Area, you will have to apply at the Embassy of the country that you will be entering first. This will be designated as your country of first entry.
This is required because your passport will show the entry stamp of the country that you entered into first, that is, your first destination.
