Frequently Asked Questions

Common inquiries regarding Italy Family Visa application requirements.

What is a Certified Translation (Traducción/Traduzione Giurata) for Italy?

keyboard_arrow_down
Official documents submitted to Italian Consulates or registries must be translated by a translator registered with the Italian courts (Traduttore Giurato) or certified and legalized by the Italian Embassy. We provide certified Certified Translations recognized by all Italian consulates.

Do Italian consulates require Apostille on all certificates?

keyboard_arrow_down
Yes. Any certificate (Birth, Marriage, PCC, Medical) must be legalized with a Hague Apostille in your country of origin before it can be translated and submitted for your visa.

What is a Nulla Osta and how do I get it?

keyboard_arrow_down
Nulla Osta is an official security clearance certificate issued by the Italian immigration desk (Sportello Unico per l'Immigrazione). For family reunification or work visas, your sponsor in Italy must apply for this document first. Once they receive it and send it to you, you can apply for the visa at the consulate.

What is the housing suitability certificate (Idoneità Alloggiativa)?

keyboard_arrow_down
For family reunification, the sponsor in Italy must submit a certificate confirming their housing meets the legal space and sanitary standards set by the Italian government. It is issued by the local municipality (Comune) or health authorities (ASL).
