The Italian Consulate provides a Schengen multiple entry visa valid for 1-2 years.
This method of obtaining is possible if the applicant is willing to wait about two months for the application to be considered.
Since the beginning of the year, the number of applications for visas at the Italian consulate has increased sharply, the Association of Tour Operators reported.
At the same time, in the center of Italy in Moscow they reported that the period for reviewing visa applications could reach 60 days.
However, Russians can now book slots to submit applications for the end of August.
The long wait for the Italian Schengen visa pays off with the opportunity to obtain a multiple entry visa for 1-2 years.
Taking into account the time required to review applications, applicants are advised to plan their trip to Europe well in advance – 2.5-3 months.
Tour operators are offering tourists to submit applications for New Year's trips now.
