Italian student visa extension while still in italy?

Italian student visa extension while still in italy?
Heyy, well basically i am on a student exchange in Italy for 6 months. It left on the 24th of January and will leave on 21st of june. It is now the start of may and I want to extend my visa till the end of December. Is it possible for me to extend my visa while being over here or does it have to be done in Australia? Is it allowed at all whilst still being in Italy? My coordinator who manages me went to the police and said they will look into even though it is unlikely, they said extension is pretty much unlikely but I haven't got an answer back.

Can I get a student loan in Italy to study in America?

Can I get a student loan in Italy to study in America?
INFO. YOU SHOULD KNOW -I was born in Italy and lived there till I was 10 years old. At age 11 me and my family moved to the U.S. I attended middle school, and high school. I got accepted at multiple public universities. Unfortunately we couldn't get our green card approved therefore I haven't been able to enroll because without the green card I can't get financial aid or loans to fund my schooling. -Here in America I have a bank account and a credit card with a good credit score, and a California driver license -My concern is when we have to go back to Italy because we couldn't get our green card approved will I be able to get a student loan to study in the U.S. if I don't have a bank account, driver license, credit report in Italy??

Students and parents who must deal with the high cost of a college education have available to them a wide range of student loans. This article offers details on three general types of student loans. Unlike other student loans, application for a specific Stafford Loan should be preceded by the filing of a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA application should be made in the name of the aspiring student. http://www.worldbestloans.com/student-loans.htm Like some other student loans, application for the Signature Loan permits the use of a co-signer. In fact, there is a real advantage to applying for a Signature Loan with a co-signer.

This question is in the wrong category -- it should be in Financial Aid.

Heyy, well basically i am on a student exchange in Italy for 6 months. It left on the 24th of January and will leave on 21st of june. It is now the start of may and I want to extend my visa till the end of December. Is it possible for me to extend my visa while being over here or does it have to be done in Australia? Is it allowed at all whilst still being in Italy? And if one consulate says no does that mean it's the same answer at another? And if they say no and I return to Australia and apply for a new 6 month visa will they give it to me in a week or how long? My coordinator went there and they said that it is pretty much a no but they are looking into it so if you could please give a good answer or personal experience it would be greatly appreciated!!!

What you have to do is check with immigrations, you will need a good reason, i.e. extended studies but you would need documents from your school. Whatever the case you reason will need good justification.

Goodness, I would think they have fruit and veggies in Italy, not to mention PASTA
2 :
You should be OK as there's plenty of good food there, meat or no meat. You'll more likely be out of place if you don't smoke !!

You'll be ok, lots of different foods there and VERY GOOD PASTA!!!

Hi, I gave a thumbs down to two people for saying ''pasta''. Many pasta's are non vegan, they contain eggs or milk. :-)

Don't let this stop you. It's not like being vegan is some sort of disability that would render you incapable of enjoying this experience. FYI - Fresh pasta generally has eggs. Dried pasta is generally vegan. Learn a little Italian so you can explain what you do and do not eat. If you're worried about offending people and are OK with a little white lying, you can say you're allergic to dairy and eggs, that's not unheard of. Kind of sad that people will respect someone's allergies but not their personal food choices, but sometimes that's how it goes. Good luck!

Try and find out where you'll be in Italy in advance, and try and find out a bit about foods and what's available in that area. That should make it a bit easier to plan for any difficulties. Might also help to learn the Italian phrases for "I am vegan" and "no animal products" etc. if you have to explain. As long as youre polite and respectful, don't be apologetic. You have as much right to have your lifestyle as anybody else.

Italian cuisine is no where what The states have recognized it as. Italian cuisine mainly consists of fresh fruit, fresh veggies, and pasta's. We have embellished our thoughts of Italian cuisine in the U.S. as compared to the real Italian cuisine. Aside from that, you will have better luck with en tree's out there as compared to the U.S. Good luck and enjoy!

Here is the reality. You cannot go and move into a host's home for five weeks and expect them to cater to your diet. You may or may not be able to live five weeks on a vegan diet. You may have to compromise from time to time and just eat vegetarian. Also, it would be quite rude of you to expect them to buy the items you need each day to get your protein. Italians embrace food both meat and vegetables and different parts of the country eat very differently. So unless you are planning packing a lot of euros to give the family to provide you wiht your soy, flaxseed crap or whatever, I wouldn't expect it. If you cannot risk not eating vegan, then I would suggest staying home so you do not offend anyone and cause an international incident with your rigid ways.

If you cannot find a vegan family over there you should stay home. Sometimes we cannot have it our way.
