Italy Visa from Saudi Arabia: Fees, Centres and Documents

Rome, Milan, Venice and Lake Como keep the Italy visa high on travel plans from Saudi Arabia. An Italy visa is a Schengen visa issued by the Italian Embassy in Riyadh or the Consulate in Jeddah, allowing up to 90 days in any 180. Almorad handles your whole Italy visa, from booking to file; you only attend biometrics.

Is the Italy visa right for your trip?

Apply for an Italy visa only if Italy is your sole or main destination. The Italian Embassy warns that other Schengen states may refuse entry if Italy wasn't really your main destination. So our first step is reviewing your itinerary to confirm an Italy visa is the correct choice.

Italy visa fees

• Official Italy visa fee: EUR 90 for adults, EUR 45 for children aged 6 to under 12; under 6 free.
• The visa centre's service fee is added, paid in SAR at the day's exchange rate.

Where is the Italy visa processed in Saudi Arabia?

Italy visa centres are run by Almaviva and VFS Global in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam, serving both missions. We book your Italy visa appointment at your nearest centre on the earliest date.

Why your Italy visa with Almorad?

• Summer slots disappear fast; we chase them for you.
• A refusal stays in the Schengen system and is seen in every future application, so get your Italy visa file right the first time.
• Saudis qualify for multiple-entry Schengen visas; a clean file helps you get longer validity.
