Ahmed Bouzidi

We, Algerian students admitted to Italian universities for 2026/2027, respectfully request that the Consulate: * Continue accepting previously accepted English certificates, including EnglishScore where applicable. * Apply the new requirements from 2027/2028. Due to the lack of available IELTS appointments, many students cannot meet the new requirements in time.

Thanina Hamdous

I request the acceptance of my language proficiency certificate, as it was already accepted by the university, in order to complete the visa procedures

FADI ABDERRAHMANE BAASSOU

Yes, this is important because at the last minute we were pressured, and this is what we had worked so hard on for a whole year.

Kenza Hamri

As an Algerian student admitted to an Italian university for the 2026/2027 academic year, I strongly support this petition. We have already completed our admission and pre-enrolment procedures in good faith, based on the language requirements officially communicated and accepted at the time. Introducing a new IELTS requirement at this very late stage, when exam appointments and results are not realistically available within the remaining timeframe, places many students at serious risk of losing

Imene Djellout

“I cannot take the IELTS exam because of the limited availability of test appointments. This situation is making it difficult for me to meet the required language certification deadline and continue my studies abroad.”

Romaissa Bennai

I am an international student admitted to the University of Palermo. We received official information indicating that, in addition to IELTS and TOEFL, other equivalent English language certificates accepted by the host university could be considered. Based on this information, many students, including myself, did not take IELTS or TOEFL and prepared our visa applications using the English certificate accepted by our university. We also did not book another appointment to take a language test bec

To help my friends

Hamoud Kedjouti

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

Salheddine Assas

I fully support this petition. I was admitted to the Master’s program Tourism Systems and Hospitality Management after having a personal interview in English with the program coordinator. The coordinator assessed my English level and accepted me based on that interview, so the university is already aware of my ability to study in English. I currently do not have enough time to take the IELTS test before my visa procedure. I kindly ask the authorities to consider the successful English interview

Houssem Bourkeb

The English certificate with which I was accepted by the university was not accepted for the visa application, which is contrary to the information provided in the email dated June 16 by the Italian Consulate in Algeria, which explained how to obtain appointments through VFS and specified the accepted English language certificates.

Koussaila Beztout

signed this petition to support students who submitted their visa applications according to the language requirements in place at the time. We kindly ask that their applications be assessed under the requirements that were valid when they applied.

Nessakh Abdelhaq

We, Algerian students admitted to Italian universities for the academic year 2026/2027, respectfully ask the Consulate to take our situation into consideration. Our language requirements have already been verified and accepted by our respective universities, as clearly indicated in our Universitaly pre-enrolment applications. Therefore, we respectfully request to be allowed to continue our visa procedures under the requirements and procedures that were in place and accepted at the time of our
