Italy's Schengen visa is "fully online" but here is the catch your clients are going to miss. ๐ฎ๐น๐
Starting this month, Italy has launched its digital portal for Short-Stay (Type C) and National Long-Stay (Type D) visas, moving forms, document uploads, and payments online.
But here is the compliance trap for Travel Agents: First-time applicants and anyone with expired biometric records still must appear in person for fingerprinting and photo capture.
If your clients assume "online" means they can skip the VFS center, their holiday schedules are at risk. Don't let new portal glitches or biometric confusion stall your agency's bookings.
At Abroad, we act as your dedicated backend desk. We audit the digital uploads, verify application compliance, and coordinate necessary in-person biometric tracks so you can keep closing European tour packages with absolute confidence.
