Algerian students applying for Italian student visas for the 2026/2027 academic year are facing difficulties following a recent change in accepted English-language certificate requirements. IELTS appointments are extremely limited, making it impossible for many students to obtain the required test in time.

We respectfully ask the Embassy of Italy in Algiers to continue accepting previously accepted English certificates for the current 2026 visa cycle and introduce the new IELTS requirement starting with the next academic year.

The points we are asking about: 1. We applied according to the official checklist and language requirements. The language certificate accepted by the university should be accepted for the visa. 2. On June 16, we received an official email confirming these requirements. 3. Students who applied in May, June, and even July obtained their visas under these conditions, while our requirements were suddenly updated without prior notice. 4. We are all applying for the same academic year 2026/2027

We want justice. How can you change the rules in the middle of an academic year? At first, you said that all certificates accepted by your university would be accepted for the visa process, and then you suddenly changed the requirements. This is unfair to students who followed the rules that were in place when they applied.

I am an Algerian student admitted to the University of Palermo for the 2026/2027 academic year. My English proficiency was positively evaluated and accepted by the University of Palermo through its admission process, including an interview and an academic assessment. However, my English language evidence was not accepted during the visa process. I am requesting clarification and a fair review of my case, as this issue may affect my opportunity to pursue my studies in Italy.

Dear Italian Embassy in Algiers, We respectfully ask for clarification regarding the recent changes concerning language certificates for student visa applications. 1. Some students submitted their applications according to the official checklist and the linguistic requirements communicated to them, which stated that the language certificate accepted by their university would also be accepted for the visa application. 2. On 16 June, we received an official email confirming this information. 3

Hello I have been officially admitted to the University of Tuscia, and IELTS was not required for my admission. I had already started my visa procedures before the new IELTS requirement was introduced. I kindly ask you to reconsider my case and allow my visa application to be assessed without IELTS. Thank you for your understanding and consideration.

We, the Algerian students admitted to Italian universities for the 2026/2027 academic year, would like to draw attention to the problem we have recently faced regarding the EnglishScore English language certificate. On 16 June 2026, a clarification was published on the Italian Embassy's platform stating that students applying for degree programmes taught in English could submit a language certificate at B2 level, provided that the certi
