Consulate of Italy – Visa Section
Subject: Application for a short-stay Schengen visa (tourism) – Priya Sharma
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am applying for a single-entry short-stay Schengen visa for tourism, for a stay of 12 days in Italy from 4 June to 15 June 2027.
1. Purpose of the trip This is a holiday in Italy. I will spend four nights in Rome (4 to 8 June), four nights in Florence (8 to 12 June) and three nights in Venice (12 to 15 June), travelling between the cities by train. On 15 June I will take the train from Venice back to Rome and fly home to Bengaluru. The enclosed itinerary sets out each stage of the trip. I have not held a Schengen visa before and have never been refused one.
2. Accommodation and costs All my hotels are booked: a hotel in the Monti district in Rome, a hotel near the Duomo in Florence and a hotel in Cannaregio in Venice, as the enclosed hotel reservations show. I will cover the whole trip myself from my salary and savings: the hotels, the trains, my daily expenses and my flights. My bank statements for the past three months are enclosed. Any medical costs are covered by my travel medical insurance.
3. Employment Since 2023 I have worked as a Senior Software Engineer at Kaveri Software Labs Pvt Ltd in Bengaluru. My employer has approved my leave for these dates, as the enclosed letter from Kaveri Software Labs confirms.
4. Return to India I am due back at work on 16 June 2027, the day after my return flight from Rome to Bengaluru on 15 June 2027, the date shown in the enclosed flight reservation.
I would be glad to provide any further document or to attend an interview at the Consulate of Italy.
Yours faithfully,
Priya Sharma Priya Sharma
