This national long-stay visa (Type D) is designed for non-EU nationals who wish to undertake a regional-approved internship or traineeship program in Italy.
The Study Visa for Internships is a specialized Type D national visa for non-EU citizens participating in structured, regional-approved internship programs. It requires a formal training agreement and proof of financial subsistence, allowing the holder to reside in Italy for the duration of their training.
While it permits full-time internship participation, it does not allow for dependents and is not considered a direct pathway to permanent residency.
