       Proof of lodging
       By: joe9919 Date: June 20, 2014, 9:59 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Dear International students officer,
       I am Joe. I have admitted into the Msc. in economics at the
       University of Siena and I have already gone through the
       pre-enrollment procedures with the Italian consulate. As you all
       know, one of the requirements for obtaining the long term
       Italian study visa, the student must demonstrate the proof of
       appropriate lodging in Italy. Following this,  I contacted your
       office (International place)  and I was informed that your
       office will help me find an accommodation once I am in Siena.
       However, I am still worried that I should provide such proof in
       order to process my visa as soon as possible.  Based on this, I
       would like to inquire if your office could assist me in
       reserving accommodation.  I have been in touch with the santa
       chiara residence, but I was told that the reservation can only
       be done one month before arrival (this is very late, remember
       long term visa takes quite a long time for processing). the
       income@unisi.it has not yet come back to me.
       I would really appreciate if I could get a letter which
       stipulates that I have proper accommodation in Siena, otherwise,
       this may have an adverse effect on my visa application. Of
       course, I am also looking forward to applying for the DSU
       Toscana scholarship in July.
       NB: This is the only document missing for my visa application.
       I am looking forward to reading you as soon as possible
       Kind Regards
       Joe

       This point raised is very important. I have also been pondering
       on it for quite a while now and it seems like it might pose a
       challenge. Mine is actually in a different direction though. I
       have a cousin who stays in Italy and since I intend to apply for
       my visa in about two weeks, I'm wondering if I can use her
       address as my place of lodging pending when I can reserve my own
       accommodation in a month before arrival. Also does this mean
       that I would have to fill her name in the "inviting persons"
       column of the long visa application form? Or I would have to
       fill in the details of the school. I personally would be very
       grateful if the international office could help us through this
       phase so we don't make mistakes

       Dear Joe,
       The email id you got is not the correct. The correct one is
       "incoming[member=1]unisi[/member].it" and you can also write to
       "candida.calvo[member=1]unisi[/member].it". She is the
       responsible person for the accommodations to the incoming
       international students. Hope this time you can reach us.

       Dear Stephen,
       Usually student's take the accommodation proof form the
       university to show while filing their visa. For your case you
       must contact you respective embassy regarding this type of
       accommodation you would like to show them.
       Sorry, unfortunately we cannot assist you with this. Please
       contact your embassy ASAP.

       Thank you very much for this information. I contacted the
       embassy here in Ghana and I was told that I am supposed to get
       the accommodation proof from the university, exactly like you
       posted. I have written a number of emails to the email address
       but as of this moment I still haven't got a reply. Please I
       would love some assistance with this issue.

       @stephen,i am yet to get a reply from the mentioned email
       address either.
       @unisi, could there be a reason why our mails haven't gotten any
       replies yet?, as i explained earlier, the proof of accommodation
       is one of the essential requirements in my visa application.If a
       copy of the form could be uploaded on here just as you did with
       other documents which were uploaded when this forum was
       started,it would be highly appreciated.Thanks

       @Fweaky....... The above mentioned email address actually is for
       exchange students. I got a reply from them asking me to email
       the international office on internationalplace@Unisi.it.
       I actually emailed the international office but as usual, I
       didn't get a response so I decided to write back to therm via
       incoming@unisi.it and request that my mail be forwarded to the
       international office which they did but even right now, I still
       havent heard back from the international office. Its really sad
       that we are made to feel this way and more or less left on our
       own to go through this phase alone despite the fact that the
       internation office is normally supposed to help us out.
