VFS Global issued an important update on Tuesday for its Italy visa customers in India, stating that applicants who required ‘Nulla Osta’ can now submit their application at the VFS’s application centre in New Delhi by making an appointment.
It is worth mentioning here that certain types of requests require the ‘Nulla Osta’ permission, which allows foreign citizens to live and work in Italy for more than 90 days.
When applying for certain types of residence permits or stay, the “Nulla Osta” document must be presented to the Immigration Police Department.
Nulla Osta will be requested in the following cases:
- Weeding in Italy.
- Family Reunion.
- Official Employment in Italy (Carta Blu)
- Self-employment (Lavoro Autonomo)
“Applicants in possession of Nulla Osta can submit their applications at our Visa Application Centres in New Delhi by booking a prior appointment.”
Customers must go to the “Book an Appointment” page on the official VFS Global website in order to schedule an appointment, and they must then “Sign In” or “Create an Account” to do so.
