Italian Level Requirements
Many Italian Consulates require applicants to demonstrate previous knowledge of Italian, often at least A2 level. However, some Consulates may require a higher level, such as B1 or B2, depending on the applicant’s country and the specific visa requirements.
We therefore recommend checking the requirements of the Italian Embassy or Consulate where you will apply. If you still need to reach A2, see our
guide to reaching Italian level A2 and preparing for your study visa.
