Yes. Being a UK resident holding a UK eVisa / share code (BRP), it is mandatory for you to have an Italy visa. However, you must apply for the Italy visa based on your nationality and the purpose of your travel.
The European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) is a travel requirement for UK nationals who are planning a trip to Schengen countries, including France, for a short duration (up to 90 days within a 180-day period). This means that residents of the UK are exempt from ETIAS and require a visa.
Yes, as per the common visa policy set by the Schengen region, an Italy-issued Schengen visa allows travelers to visit other Schengen countries too, provided Italy is the main destination or the first point of entry.
Absolutely, yes. Travel insurance is mandatory for all Schengen visa applicants. If you are applying for an Italy visa, then you must have a minimum travel insurance with coverage of €30,000 that must cover the medical expenses, repatriation, and hospitalisation during the entire stay.
Generally, the processing time of an Italy visa is 10-15 working days, depending on the applicant’s submission and appointment time. This can even take a longer time, up to 45 days, in certain circumstances.
Although UK citizens don’t require a visa for short visits when they travel for business, tourism, or family trips. But for longer stays, they do need a visa. This also applies to EU/EEA and Swiss citizens reading in UK, as they too can travel to Italy without a visa.
Whereas, non-EU nationals require a valid Italy visa. If you are a UK resident from any nationality (excluding visa-exempt countries), then it is mandatory for you to have an Italy visa from UK to visit this country for business, tourism, or other purpose.
An Italy visa appointment is a scheduled day at a visa centre, where you need to submit your documents, register your biometrics, and attend an interview to process your Italy visa. This appointment is scheduled easily and quickly by experts at SCHENGEN TRAVEL INFO.
You should apply for an Italy Schengen Visa at least 15 days prior to the day you intend to travel, and no earlier than 6 months before you leave.
In case your short-stay visa is rejected, then you will be informed of the reason behind the rejection. In this case, you can reapply for the Italy visa and submit it accordingly. Common reasons for the visa rejection are incomplete application, inaccurate documentation, etc.
Generally, it is not allowed to extend the visa, and it is possible only under certain circumstances, like:
1. Serious illness
2. Humanitarian reasons
3. Extraordinary circumstances (force majeure, airline strikes)
*** You must know that a visa can only be extended during its validity.

1. Visa application form
2. Financial statements
3. Valid passport

5. Accommodation proofs
