Nulla Osta for Scientific Research – Stay Longer than 3 Months

Legal References: Article 27-ter of Legislative Decree No. 286/98, introduced by Legislative Decree No. 17 of January 9, 2008

The activation of the Nulla Osta request procedure for scientific research is mandatory for research fellows and postdoctoral scholarship holders who carry out research or equivalent activities in Italy, at the University, for a period exceeding 3 months.

This procedure does not apply to individuals entering Italy to pursue a specialization diploma, PhD, university master's degree, or advanced training course, regardless of whether they engage in research activities. These individuals must instead apply for a Study Visa.

The timeframe for issuing the Nulla Osta, which is necessary to obtain an entry visa for Italy, depends on the individual Embassies/Consulates. On average, the process takes about 30 to 60 days, depending on the country of origin.

The department responsible for hosting the researcher must prepare the necessary documentation to allow the office to submit the clearance request for scientific research.

Regarding health insurance, ASUGI has specified that a voluntary flat-rate enrollment of €700 is not sufficient; instead, the % income method is used, with the minimum amount remaining € 2.000.

The following documents outline the procedure, the required documentation, and how the process works.
