FAQs about tourist visas for travel abroad

Does Etnopoint issue visas?

No. Etnopoint does not issue visas.

We help you prepare your application, check the requirements and organise the documents you need.

The embassy, consulate or relevant authority of your destination country always makes the final decision on your visa.

What documents do I need to apply for a tourist visa?

The documents you need depend on your destination country, citizenship and personal circumstances.

You may generally need:

  • Valid passport
  • Passport photo
  • Proof of income or sufficient funds
  • Work or study documents
  • Flight and accommodation bookings
  • Travel insurance, if required
  • Invitation letter, if required
  • Any other documents required by the relevant authority

Always check the destination country’s latest requirements before applying.

Do I need to book flights and a hotel before I get my visa?

It depends on your destination country and its application rules.

In some cases, bookings or travel itineraries are enough. In others, you may need more specific documents.

Before buying non-refundable tickets, check what the authorities require

How long does it take to get a tourist visa?
Processing times depend on the Destination country, the type of visa and how long the relevant authority takes to process it.

You may hear back within a few days, but some applications take several weeks.

That’s why it’s best to start your application well before you travel.

Do I need to visit the embassy or visa centre in person?

It depends on your destination country and the type of visa you need.

In some cases, you must attend in person to submit documents, provide fingerprints or attend an interview.

For other destinations, you may be able to complete part of the process online.

Can I apply for a tourist visa if I live in Italy but am not an Italian citizen?

Yes, in many cases you can apply for a tourist visa as a foreign national living in Italy.

Requirements depend on your nationality, destination country and Italian residence permit.

You may need to show that you are legally resident in Italy and have reasons to return after your trip.

What happens if my visa is refused?

If your application is refused, the relevant authority will usually explain why it was rejected.

Depending on the country and your circumstances, you may be able to correct your documents, apply again or request a review or appeal.

First, find out why your application was refused. Do not submit it again without making changes.
