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.
