We are open: Mon - Fri : 9 am to 5 pm
At Forsiter, we take pride in our role as the trusted partner of the Embassy of Italy in Colombo. Our dedicated responsibilities include streamlining and enhancing various crucial tasks that facilitate seamless interactions between the Embassy and the public.
PLEASE NOTE: in the case of family re-union visa
applicants, if the process of legalisation of the relevant
civil status documents has not yet been completed when the
six-month period of validity of the Nulla Osta is
approaching, please note that it is always possible to
request and obtain an appointment for the submission of
the visa application through the VFS online portal.
On the day of the actual submission of the
application (which must in any case take place within the
validity period of the Nulla Osta), it will be sufficient
to submit a copy of the FORSITER receipt proving that the
legalisation process has been started, thus enabling the
Embassy to interrupt the expiry of the Nulla Osta, pending
the completion of the checks on the civil status
documentation. On the other hand, applications submitted
after the time limit for the validity of the nulla osta
will be subject to a notice of denial and refusal.
NOTA BENE: in caso di ricongiungimento familiare, laddove
il processo di legalizzazione dei documenti di stato
civile rilevanti non sia stato ancora ultimato
all’approssimarsi dei termini semestrali di validita’ del
nulla osta, si ricorda che e’ sempre possibile richiedere
e ottenere un appuntamento per la presentazione della
domanda di visto tramite il portale online di VFS.
Il giorno della presentazione effettiva della
domanda (che deve comunque avvenire entro i termini di
validita’ del nulla osta) sara’ sufficiente presentare
copia della ricevuta di FORSITER che provi l’avvenuto
avvio del processo di legalizzazione, permettendo cosi’
all’Ambasciata di interrompere i termini di decorrenza
della validita’ del nulla osta, in attesa del
completamento delle verifiche sulla documentazione di
stato civile. Domande presentate oltre i termini di
validita’ del nulla osta andranno invece incontro a
preavviso di diniego e diniego.
