The Embassy of Italy in Islamabad has started issuing Italy visa appointments for August 2026, with applicants receiving confirmation emails for scheduled visits to the Italy Visa Application Centre (VAC) in Islamabad.
According to appointment notifications sent by the Italy Visa Application Centre, applicants who joined the official waiting list are now being allocated appointment slots for August 2026. One of the latest appointment confirmations schedules a student visa applicant for August 25, 2026, at 2:30pm at the Islamabad VAC.
The Embassy of Italy continues to allocate appointments through a chronological waiting list system on a first-come, first-served basis to ensure transparency and prevent fraudulent bookings.
How to book an Italy visa appointment in Pakistan
Applicants must register through the official Intiana Italy Visa Application Centre portal and join the waiting list. Once their turn arrives, the visa application centre sends the appointment date and time directly to the applicant’s registered email address.
Applicants are advised not to purchase appointments from agents, as the system is time-stamped and appointments are allocated only through the official waiting list.
Important information for August 2026 applicants
Those planning to travel to Italy should submit their visa applications at least 30 days before their intended departure date to allow sufficient processing time.
Student visa applicants can only receive an appointment after their pre-enrolment has been validated on the Universitaly portal. Appointment allocation is based on the university validation date.
In addition, Pakistani-issued documents must be apostilled, while all supporting documents should either be in English or officially translated into Italian and notarised before submission.
Applicants who wish to submit their applications at the Lahore or Faisalabad Visa Application Centre, where available, may request a change before their scheduled appointment, subject to operational availability.
For further information or to track their application, applicants can contact the Italy Visa Application Centre through its official website, email or helpline.
