Notes and caveats
The consular source covers non-official courses, exchange and mobility, cultural exchange, volunteering, internships and fellowships, under Articles 8–13 of DNM Disposition 2802/2023. Some categories require a convention or acceptance letter. Applicants aged 16 or older whose stay exceeds six months must provide the specified foreign police certificate and affidavit. DNU 366/2025 requires incoming foreign nationals to declare health insurance. This route is distinct from the temporary-resident visa for formal studies.
