🇮🇹 Official Holidays of Italian Consulates in 2025
Dear visitor, welcome. One of the most important points to consider during your Italian visa application process is that the Italian Consulates and visa application centers do not operate on official holidays. The Embassy of Italy in Ankara, the Consulate General of Italy in Istanbul, and the Consulate of Italy in Izmir will remain closed on the dates listed below.
Applications submitted during these days will not be processed, and applications submitted shortly before the holidays may also take longer than the usual processing time. Therefore, we recommend that you plan your travel in advance, taking these official holidays into account, in order to avoid any delays.
