       PRE-ENROLMENT AND VISA CHALLENGES
       By: expensivestephen Date: June 30, 2014, 8:59 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I think quite a lot of us are facing numerous challenges ranging
       from pre-enrolment to visa application. I thought it wise to put
       up this thread so everyone can put up their issues and hopefully
       get it sorted out as soon as possible. I plead with the admin to
       try and forward our challenges and issues to the international
       office (internationalplace@unisi.it) since they barely respond
       to our emails or take our phone calls. Well my challenges as
       stated before are;
       1. Pre-enrolment: The embassy wants the international place to
       issue me a letter stating that they can pre-enrol me whilst I
       await my final degree certificate.
       2. Proof of accommodation: The embassy also wants a
       documentation to this effect to enable me apply for my visa

       Hello,
       I'm Ali, and I'm from Iran.
       1- The Italian embassy in Iran accepts the letter of acceptance
       that university sent us by e-mail, otherwise you should bring
       your corresponding with the university that says " you can come
       to Italy and it's Ok that you don't have your certificate yet
       and ..." .( I mean it's Ok to print this e-mail and give it to
       the embassy)
       2-The Italian embassy in Iran accepts a confirmation latter that
       you booked a hotel for the first 15 days of  your residence in
       Italy. (they want to be assure that you have somewhere to stay)

       ALI thanks a lot for your response. I really find it comforting
       that you took out your time to respond to me. For your responses
       this is what I think
       1. I would communicate with the embassy and see if the printed
       correspondence would be enough proof for them to carry out the
       pre-enrolment. procedure.
       2. For the accommodation proof, I have tried contacting Santa
       Charia but the response I got was that they haven't started
       giving out the place yet and I have to wait until August when
       they start giving it out. Where do I now make a reservation?

       Dear Stephen, you're welcome  :)
       1- Yes, I meant that.
       2-Please check this website :
  HTML http://www.booking.com/
       you can book a hotel (or hostel or... ) for your residence  and
       give the conformation letter which  they'll email you to the
       embassy .

       Dear Anjan,
       I hope this would suffice as answers to your questions.To book a
       room at the siena hostel,all you need to do is visit Booking.com
       and search for siena hostel after which you can pick a suitable
       room(room of 2,4 or 8).All you need to complete your booking is
       a credit card to confirm that you can afford the
       payment.Afterwards,a confirmation will be sent to your email
       address which can be printed and taken to the embassy for visa
       processing.
       Regards,
       fweaky.
