Heads up — Italy Visa Checklists Vary by Jurisdiction
Italy splits visa decisions across 4 Indian consulates — New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bengaluru — each with slightly different document checklists, fees rounding, and processing nuances. The requirements listed on this page match the New Delhi (North) jurisdiction.
New Delhi (North) jurisdiction covers
The Italy Re-Entry Visa is for people lawfully residing in Italy who lost their residence permit OR left the country before receiving the renewal of said permit. Applicants must prove they travelled out for genuine and important reasons. Long-term D — Single Entry. Visa issued ONLY after Embassy receives no-impediment from Italian Immigration Authorities (Questura) — processing cannot be expedited.
What it costs
Paid directly to Italy / VFS — these are not our service fee, and we never mark them up.
Figures per VFS Global, last verified 20 Apr 2026. Fees change without notice — the official page is final.
In addition to Visa Fees, applicant pays VFS Service Charge of INR 631 (inclusive of all taxes). Optional value-added services: Courier ₹795, Courier Assurance ₹631, Premium Lounge ₹4,669. Visa fee and service charges are NON-REFUNDABLE if the application is refused by the Embassy of Italy or withdrawn while under processing.
Flights · Hotels · Insurance · Itinerary
Italy applies the Schengen rules, so travel insurance is not a nice-to-have — it is a legal condition of the visa.
2 of 4 are compulsory for Italy
Where people slip: Flying into one city and out of another with nothing showing how you travel between them. Officers read the whole route, and an unexplained gap reads as a plan that does not hold together.
Book for ₹708 (+₹472 per family member)Where people slip: Free-cancellation bookings are accepted, but if the entire file is free-cancellation the officer sees a trip nobody has committed to. Some of it should be real spend.
Confirmed hotel booking, ₹590 per hotel: message us firstWhere people slip: Buying cover for the adults and forgetting the children. Every traveller needs their own EUR 30,000, infants included — a real refusal we have seen on a family of four.
What a Schengen policy must showWhere people slip: Spending more nights in another Schengen country than in Italy. That gets a file rejected before it is even assessed.
The letter your itinerary attaches toWe can arrange the flight reservation, the hotel and the itinerary for your Italy file — each sold separately.
We are a B2B travel agency as well as a visa consultancy, working with partners including Riya Travel — so the flight reservation and the confirmed hotel booking both come from us, and you deal with one team. Every booking is a real one under your own name. We do not sell travel insurance: buy the policy directly from an insurer.
None of them is part of our visa fee: each is bought on its own, at the price below, with or without our visa service.
Flight reservation ₹708 (+₹472 per extra family member) · Confirmed hotel booking ₹590 per hotel · Travel itinerary ₹1,499. GST included.
Delivery. Usually within 30 minutes during office hours, Mon–Sat 10:00–18:00 IST. Confirmed hotel bookings are not bought online: message us first on WhatsApp or email info@sureshotvisa.com with the city, dates and travellers.

Frequently asked
When you were lawfully residing in Italy, then: (1) lost your residence permit, OR (2) left Italy before receiving renewal, OR (3) had to leave for genuine reasons and now want to return to regularize status.
NO — 90 working days processing, cannot be sped up. Embassy must wait for Questura's no-impediment. Allow for the processing time when you choose your travel dates.
File police report in the country where theft happened. The report MUST indicate which Italian Questura issued your permit — without this info, Embassy cannot process.
Yes, but you must provide documentary evidence justifying why (medical emergency, family issues, etc.). Embassy evaluates case by case.
Yes — if you're awaiting first issuance of Italian residence permit, provide copy of permit postal receipt + copy of any provision by Italian Authority.
Re-Entry is single-entry for the original holder. Family members who left with you apply separately under their respective categories.

Before you file
Filed on a guessed checklist, the government fee is gone on a refusal and the refusal follows every future application. Filed after a consultant at our licensed firm has read the papers against each other, the file answers the officer's questions before they are asked. Same Italy rules, different outcome. How we do that is written once, in full, on the method page rather than repeated here.
