Vatican City

Looking to apply for a visa to Vatican City? Since Vatican City does not issue its own visas, entry is managed through Italy as part of the Schengen Zone. Depending on your purpose of travel, you may apply for a Schengen Short-Stay Visa for tourism, religious pilgrimages, or cultural visits, a Business Visa for official or trade activities, a Transit Visa if passing through Italy, or a National Long-Stay Visa for extended residence in Italy that allows access to Vatican City. For those working or studying within Vatican institutions, special permits are issued through Italian authorities in collaboration with the Holy See. To explore professional pathways, check Vatican City job opportunities, and for religious or academic growth, visit institutions in Vatican City connected with the Holy See.
