All students going to Rome need to secure a visa*.
*The only exceptions are summer students AND any student with a valid EU passport.
Students attending Trinity study away programs must secure a study visa. A visa is applied for through the foreign country consular offices located here in the United States. The visa is a consular stamp that is affixed to a blank page in your passport, giving the holder the right to remain in a country for an extended period of time.
The visa process can be overwhelming at first glance, but we will guide you through the process. As long as you follow the instructions provided by your local consulate and plan well in advance, you should not have a problem. It is important to know that Trinity does not have any control over the regulations or processes of the Italian Consulates.
There are two separate visa processes for students. Depending on the semester and your location, you may apply either as an individual, or as a member of a group through Trinity College. The rules are as follows:
