How to Get an Italian Schengen Tourist Visa from Dubai (Step-by-Step)
Applying for an Italy Business Visa from Dubai
If your trip to Italy is for meetings, conferences, or other work-related purposes, you will need an Italy Schengen Business Visa rather than a tourist visa. The application route is very similar, but you will also need to provide an invitation letter from the Italian host company, a letter from your UAE employer confirming your role and travel purpose, and proof of your company’s trade licence if you are self-employed or a business owner.
