There are mainly three types of Italy Visit Visas. The Short-Stay Schengen Visa (Type C) is for tourism, business visits, family visits, or short medical trips. The Airport Transit Visa (Type A) is required for travelers passing through an Italian airport without entering the country. The Long-Stay National Visa (Type D) is for people planning to stay in Italy for more than 90 days for work, study, or family reunification. Each visa type depends on your purpose and length of stay.
