To apply for an Italy tourist visa from Dubai, you need a valid passport (issued within the last 10 years, valid 3+ months after leaving Schengen, with 2 blank pages), a UAE residence permit, completed Schengen application form, recent photos, and travel insurance covering at least €30,000. You must also provide a confirmed accommodation booking, detailed travel itinerary, flight reservations, and recent bank statements to show sufficient funds.
An employment letter or No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your UAE employer is often required. The Italian Embassy may request additional documents depending on your case.
