Getting a visa

South Africans passport holders need to apply for visas for the Schengen area before traveling to Italy.

You can only apply for the visa three months before the trip.  The visas are done through the company Capago, who are based in Wierda Valley in Sandton (if you live in Joburg).  Their website is https://www.my-europe-visa.com/ and all the information that you need is there.  We took our photos at their offices and also paid when we were there with a credit card.  The visas took a week to get back. So quite speedy.

I usually make the appointment a few weeks in advance which forces me to get the paperwork together in time.
