Necessary

Instructions
Step 1
When applying for a visa on your own, you need to start collecting documents with booking accommodation. The consulate does not make any special formal requirements for hotel reservations, but it must contain the name, address and phone numbers of the hotel, the period for which the rooms are booked and the names of everyone who will live in them.
You can book a hotel via the Internet on the website of himself or a third-party organization, or by contacting the administration of the chosen institution in another way (phone, email, fax, etc.).
If the tourist has his own accommodation in Italy or intends to rent it, the original contract of sale or lease and its photocopy are required.
For those who go to visit - an invitation.
Step 2
The consulate also requires originals and copies of return tickets for train, plane or bus or their reservation.
Autotourists will need a car registration certificate or rental contract, an international insurance policy and a driver's license and copies of all these documents.
Step 3
To confirm the applicant's occupation, a certificate from work or a photocopy of the registration certificate of an entrepreneur or company will be required, for pensioners - a copy of a pension certificate, a certificate from the place of study for students (signed by the dean of the faculty) and schoolchildren.
The certificate from work must be on the letterhead of the organization, with the date, certified by the signature of the first person of the company and the seal and contain the address and telephone number of the employer, information about the position and monthly salary of the visa applicant and his work experience in the company. The document is valid for a month from the date of issue.
Step 4
Confirmation of consistency will also be required. The choice of documents accepted in this capacity is great: the original certificate from the bank about the current state of the account, the original and a photocopy of a bank card with a bank statement on the account or an ATM statement, originals and photocopies of a passbook, traveller's checks or postal bonds.
When traveling by invitation, they will also accept a bank guarantee from an Italian bank or insurance company, which the inviting party must issue in their country.
Step 5
You must attach a photocopy of the first page to your passport.
When contacting the Visa Application Center, you will also need the original of your internal passport.
Step 6
The visa application form can be downloaded from the website of the visa center and filled out on a computer or in block letters by hand.
A photograph of the applicant is pasted on the application form: 3 by 4 cm, color on a white background.
Step 7
Insurance requirements are standard for the Schengen area: validity throughout the Schengen area for the entire duration of the trip, insurance coverage from 30 thousand euros, no deductible.
When submitting documents through the visa center, the policy can be bought right on the spot without any extra charge.
Step 8
A visa fee in the amount of 35 euros, standard for the Schengen zone, for Russians can be paid at the branches of Banca Intesa. The addresses of the offices are on the website of the visa center.
When applying for a visa through the center, you will have to pay separately for its services.
Step 9
You need to make an appointment through the form on the website of the visa center. If necessary, there will be no problems with the help of the site to reschedule the appointment or cancel it altogether.
