Italy Study Visa September 2025 Intake: Shocking Refusal Rates & Expert Warning

Video Guide: Italy 95% Refusal Rate and Appointment Scams

Italy has always been a dream destination for Pakistani students, but the results of the September 2025 intake have shocked everyone. Awais Chaudhary (AA Study Consultant) has shared an extremely “Shocking Update” regarding the current situation in Italy in his latest video. If you are planning to go to Italy in 2026, this article will serve as a major eye-opener for you.

Compared to our previous guides like Study in Portugal and Latvia Study Visa, the process for Italy has now become very difficult and highly risky.

1. 95% Refusal Rate: Italy’s New Challenge

The biggest blow to the September 2025 intake in Italy has come in the form of massive visa refusals.

• The Shocking Number: Approximately 95% of students have had their visas refused [00:00:27].
• Even with Legal Recourse: Students who filed court cases or purchased extremely expensive appointments to submit their files also faced rejections [00:00:20].
• Normal Appointments: The situation remained almost the same for those with normal appointments [00:00:34].

2. Appointment Scams and Black Marketing

Securing an appointment for Italy has become nearly impossible, leading to rampant black marketing in the industry.

Many students purchased appointments at very high prices from the black market, yet the result remained zero [00:00:13]. Awais Chaudhary consistently advises students to avoid such unethical practices and not waste their hard-earned money.

3. Profile Strength vs. Consultant Promises

Many consultants show “Golden Dreams” to lure students toward Italy, but in reality, they often only focus on making money.

• Expert Advice: Before following any consultant’s words, make sure to significantly strengthen your own profile [00:00:40].
• Documentation: As mentioned in our VU & AIOU degree guide, it is impossible to secure a visa for any country without proper documentation and verification.

4. Better Alternatives for 2026

If your goal is simply to reach Europe and you do not want to take a 95% risk, you should consider these better alternatives:

• Latvia: There are great success stories here, even with 45% marks.
• Romania: The Romania Fully Funded Scholarship is currently offering a 100% visa guarantee.
• Portugal: Portugal remains a more affordable and reliable option.

5. Support from AA Study Consultant

We always strive to ensure that a student’s hard-earned money is not wasted [00:00:48]. If the situation in Italy is unfavorable, we recommend countries with better prospects and higher success ratios.
