Review of Consulate General of Italy - N...

You will only be allowed inside at your specific time. No one is allowed inside other than the person applying for a visa. They checked all my paperwork and I was done in 15 minutes. I was missing one requirement but they allowed me to email them and they responded promptly. I received the visa in one week's time.

For a TOURIST visa below is the requirement and order you should bring them in:

*Make your copies before your visit; no copy machines available at the embassy & they will not copy for you*

-Schengen application (with most recent passport photo included)
-Passport (Bring original and make a copy)
-Green card (Bring original and make a copy of front & back)
-Driver's License (Bring original and make a copy of front & back)
-Flight Itinerary (make sure your name is included)
-Hotel Itinerary (make sure your name is included)
-Bank letter (Must be notarized; ask your bank to notarize it & they will be able to do it for you)
-Bank Statement (3-6 months)
-Credit card statements (3-6 months)
-Employment letter (must have letterhead of company; ask HR to include specific leave and return dates of your stay, earning, how long you've been employed, countries you will be visiting)
-Pay Stubs (3 paychecks)
-Travel Insurance (Make sure your name is included)

*Bring a USPS flat rate envelope WITH a tracking #. It's $6.45 at your local USPS office. They will use this to mail you back your passport with the visa on it.

Tourist visa cost: $68 (They accept cash)

Good luck! :)
