Do NOT get your tourist visa here. 1) they require documents NOT listed on the website, the latest requirements are posted on the wall outside of the side entrance 2) after you scavenger hunt all the documents in the neighborhood, they would NOT let you in because you missed your originate appointment time Go get visa from another country where you can pay with credit card and get photos and copies done for a fee. This location simply isn’t worth taking half a day off work, running around getting new documents, then being denied entry to the visa office.

very bad experience, 99.9% you will need something else that is not on the website. It’s a morning workout for you. Prepare to run back and forth, I just don’t get it is it so hard to put every requirement on their website?

You probably should have gotten an email sent to the email address you used to register an account with PreNota. If you made an appointment far ahead of time, you'll get a confirmation email about a week before the appointment.

Hi, I am traveling to Italy with a group of high school students this June. Most are US citizens however, one is a Japanese citizen and the other Canadian citizen. Will either need a visa to enter Italy for a 10 day trip?

Kim DeFonce | May 15, 2022

Canadian and Japanese citizens do not require a visa to EU countries for visits under 90 days.

It's impossible to schedule an appointment on the website. Disregard the website, get all documents necessary and fees in cash, go to consulate 4am (except Wednesdays), and wait till they open at 9am. You need to go there this early to make sure you will be one of the 5 people. Consulate only accepts 5 Passport applications per day without the impossible appointment. You will walk out with Passport in your hands on the same day.

henry torani | Oct 13, 2018
carlos diaz | Oct 13, 2019

To apply for Italian Citizenship, you were asked to call a number that is a collect call, talk as fast as possible, but then, they give you a year and a half to get all the documentation together before the interview. You need to get everything translated, apostilled into italian. You can only use translation companies from a list that the consolate approves of. I would also suggest joining Italian American web forums to get advice from people who know about the process.

You have to go to the site to register, make an appointment and when you go to the appointment remember to bring an electricity bill to confirm the address where you live, 3 passport photos, the old passport and if you have children you will also need birth certificates of your children! however on the AIRE website you will find everything!

Naomi Rossabi | Oct 12, 2021

In my understanding the dplf is really a formality. I would suggest you to try and go past the glitch (even with an uncorrect answer) and finalize it. Print the document and bring it with you at the airport. you just need to show that you have done it to allow boarding. You will not need the dplf in any other instantes during your stay

This is likely a question for them, not Google. Answers here are managed by customers, not the office. Outside that, this is a Consulate, not an Embassy. Embassies are only located in capitals, therefore DC. I wouldn't know if you can pay a ticket issued by a State enforcer (Polizia do Stato, Carabinieri etc) but if you have gotten a ticket by a local municipal force then the answer would be a definite "no"; consulates do not deal with matters of local municipalities.

Eve Pomerance | Oct 13, 2019
Joseph Morelli | Oct 13, 2019

Not exactly a passport, however it will need paperwork. Your dog will need proof of all it's vaccinations. Even your airplane carrier will be able to give you this information.

It should be, logically, but I don't know whether the Consulate requests additional records. It probably depends on the reason for which you contact them.

Go on the website every day after 6pm to see if they have any cancellations. In the meantime write to them, the email for their visas office should be on their website.

I need to apply for the birth certificate of my son who was born in America .... who should I contact? I am in Italy and I gave birth to my son in 2000 in America. I have lost the original certificate I had, I only have a photocopy.

Alexander Famous | Oct 13, 2019

Excuse my Italian: he does not need to use the consulate to request these documents. Find the site for the state of where your child was born. For example: if he was born in New York, go to the "New York Birth Certificate Registry" or another similar phrase.

Has anyone applied for dual Italian citizenship? What documents do you need before making an appointment with the consulate? Thanks

Joe Zapp | Oct 13, 2018
Alexander Famous | Oct 13, 2019

Sure did! And you need a TON of documents (in addition to them needing to be prepared). I used myitalianfamily.com which basically gave me a handy dandy list of documents that I needed. Appointment couldn't have gone smoother. Got confirmed a year and a half later. If you have any other questions, feel free to reply to this!

I tried unsuccessfully to register to be able to make an appointment on line to renew my passport. Nobody ever answer the phone. What else can I do?

Mariaelisa Magnoni | Oct 13, 2018
Alexander Famous | Oct 13, 2019

If it makes you feel better, this whole system is garbage and they aren't known for stellar customer service. Nobody answers the phone because the phone hours are between 2:30pm-4:00pm, a VERY small window of time. What you can do is go to this website, an online portal where you can make appointments for whatever you need: https://prenotaonline.esteri.it/login.aspx?cidsede=100061&ReturnUrl=/

I cannot log in to your website to make an appointment. The site asks me to enter the password, then tells me that it's incorrect but won't let me change it. I truly need assistance because I urgently need to renew my Italian passport. Grazie

maria tonseth | Oct 13, 2018

Just make a new account (the only difference will be the email you use, which has to be different)

Gino Alati | Oct 13, 2018

You need an appointment, 2 passport photos, must be registered all aire! But if you need them urgently you can present even without an appointment I think they let at least 5 people enter without an appointment! But they want the plane ticket or the reservation! a light or tel bill or something where his name and address are shown! I saw people go home because they didn't have the updated address and they didn't bring a proof to change it! Good luck!

María Mercedes Villacreses Peña | Oct 13, 2018
Amanda Gobba | Oct 13, 2018

I had the same issue, they told me to try online everyday at 6pm as spaces become available when people don't confirm their appointment. Make sure you have all the required documents with you because you might get an appointment for the next day. I tried mine everyday at 6pm and managed to book for Monday on a Friday. Hint: if you do this, make sure you log on around 5.45pm, their system becomes extremely slow approaching 6pm, I guess due to high volume of people trying to access it.
