Hi . Could you also make a video about the degree recognition process . About all the documents we need to gather and the process after that

[@visalibrary]

Thank you for your suggestion! For immigrating to Italy as a doctor, the degree recognition process is indeed essential. You will need to apply through the Italian Ministry of Health, providing documents like your degree, transcripts, proof of internship, and language proficiency (Italian, usually B2 level). After recognition, you may also need to pass a competency exam. I will definitely consider creating a video on this topic. Let me know if you need more guidance!

Hello, I was born in Italy and already I have Permesso di soggiorno illimitata, but now I am studying medicine in Belarus after my studies, can you explain how to immigrate to Italy as a doctor

[@visalibrary]

Since you already have a Permesso di Soggiorno Illimitata, you can return to Italy after completing your medical studies in Belarus. To work as a doctor in Italy, you'll need to have your medical degree recognized by the Italian authorities and pass the Italian medical licensing exam. After that, you can register with the Italian Medical Association and start practicing.

Hi how hard is the exam esame di stato? Im a student of medicine in Georgia ( country ) and i wish to practice as a doctor in Italy. Can you tell me will the degree be accepted? Thanks

[@visalibrary]

Practicing as a doctor in Italy involves passing the Esame di Stato, the state exam required for medical professionals. The exam is considered challenging, as it tests clinical and theoretical knowledge across various medical fields. Preparation with Italian medical resources is crucial, as the exam is in Italian. Regarding your degree from Georgia, it may be accepted, but you’ll need to have it officially recognized in Italy through a process called "riconoscimento del titolo di studio". This involves submitting your documents to the Italian Ministry of Education or the university where you wish to continue your studies. Additionally, fluency in Italian (at least B2 level) is essential, both for passing the exam and for practicing medicine in Italy. Best of luck!

Hello, Visa Library. I am Basically from Pakistan and currently studying as an international medical student in Afghanistan. In Afghanistan, the medical degree is called "Doctor of Medicine," which takes approximately seven years to complete. I have a few questions: 1. Does Italy exempt the licensing exam if I have an Afghan medical license as well as a Pakistani medical license? 2. In Italy, is it possible to study other medical graduate programs without holding a medical license? 3. Does Italy recognize and accept the Afghan medical degree "Doctor of Medicine"? Thank you.

[@visalibrary]

Italy does not exempt foreign doctors from the licensing exam, even if you hold an Afghan or Pakistani medical license. To work as a doctor, you’ll need to pass the Prova di Abilitazione and register with the Ordine dei Medici. However, you can enroll in medical graduate programs in Italy without a license. As for your Afghan degree, Italy might recognize it after going through degree equivalency (Dichiarazione di Valore) through the Italian consulate. You'll need that recognition to either pursue further studies or get licensed.

What about American Osteopathic Physicians (DOs)? I know Italy allows DOs but are there more hoops to jump through?

[@visalibrary]

Immigrating to Italy as a doctor, including American Osteopathic Physicians (DOs), is possible, but it does involve additional steps compared to MDs (Medical Doctors). While Italy recognizes the qualifications of DOs, the process to practice medicine in Italy for DOs might include the validation of their degree, proving language proficiency in Italian, and potentially passing a recognition exam or completing an integration course. Additionally, obtaining a work visa and getting your professional qualifications recognized by the Italian Ministry of Health are part of the process. It's important to check the latest requirements from Italian health authorities or a professional regulatory body as these procedures can change.

Hello! To work as a cardiologist in Italy, especially in Milan, your medical degree must be recognized by Italian authorities. If Algeria doesn't authenticate your certificates, it may complicate the process. Consult the Italian Ministry of Health for specific guidance. Good luck!

How can i become a psychiatrist in italy after passing 12th standard from india , what exams do i have to give, visa requirements and living costs etc.?

[@visalibrary]

To become a psychiatrist in Italy after your 12th standard, you’ll need to apply for an MBBS program by taking the IMAT exam (International Medical Admissions Test). Medical studies in Italy take 6 years, followed by a 4-5 year specialization in Psychiatry. You’ll need a student visa, which requires proof of admission, financial support (~€6,000 annually), and health insurance. Living costs are about €700-1,200 per month, depending on the city. Proficiency in Italian (B2 level) is mandatory for clinical practice, so start learning early!

What about Egyptian faculty of medicine with 6 years study and i have more than 7 years of practices medicine in Egypt?? Do i need study some thing like plab??

[@visalibrary]

To practice medicine in Italy with an Egyptian medical degree, you will need to go through a few steps for recognition and authorization. Firstly, your medical degree must be recognized by the Italian Ministry of Health. This involves submitting your credentials for assessment, which can include proof of your medical license in Egypt, a certificate of good standing, a criminal background check, and a certified translation of your medical diploma and curriculum. Once your degree is recognized, you will likely need to pass the "Esame di Stato," which is the national medical licensing exam in Italy. This exam includes a three-month internship in various medical fields and possibly a written test. Fluency in Italian is required, so it's essential to have a good command of the language. After passing the exam, you will need to register with the local medical board in Italy, known as "Ordine dei Medici," which involves paying a recurring fee. If you wish to practice as a specialist, additional steps are required to have your specialty recognized, which includes providing detailed documentation of your residency and fellowship training.

What if a man from Pakistan studied medicine in Romania So what will be his requirements does he considered as an eu doctor or non eu doctor please tell me

[@visalibrary]

If you’re a Pakistani citizen who studied medicine in Romania, you're still considered a non-EU doctor in Italy because your nationality, not your degree, determines your status. However, having an EU medical degree (from Romania) can make the recognition process a bit smoother. You will still need to: Get your degree recognized (known as "recognition of qualifications" or "equipollenza") through the Italian Ministry of Health. Pass a language proficiency test in Italian, typically at a B2 level or higher, as working in healthcare requires strong language skills. Register with the medical board (Ordine dei Medici) after your degree is recognized. Let me know if you need more guidance!

[@arpitkulkarni6767]

is mbbs in india equivalent to the italian medicine degree so as to do specialisation in italy?

[@visalibrary]

To practice medicine or specialize in Italy with an MBBS degree from India, you will need to have your qualifications recognized by the Italian Ministry of Health. The MBBS degree is generally considered equivalent to the Italian "Laurea in Medicina e Chirurgia," but you will still need to go through a process of validation called 'Nostrification'. This involves passing an equivalence exam and possibly completing some additional training or exams as required by the specific Italian region where you wish to practice. Once recognized, you can apply for specialization programs in Italy.

Thank you for all the info ☺️ Question: Since Brexit, where do UK medical degrees fall under? Is there still a direct EU-like recognition? (I am French but hold a british medical degree) Thanks 🥰

[@visalibrary]

Since Brexit, UK medical degrees are no longer automatically recognized within the EU, including Italy. However, your British medical degree can still be recognized in Italy, but you will need to go through the formal recognition process (riconoscimento del titolo di studio). This involves submitting your degree and other relevant documents to the Italian Ministry of Health for evaluation. Given that you are a French citizen, your EU nationality may simplify some aspects of the process, but the degree itself will still need to be formally recognized under the post-Brexit rules.

Mbbs from Ukraine is valid in Italy and the state exam is it possibleto write it in English

[@visalibrary]

To immigrate to Italy as a doctor, your MBBS degree from Ukraine must be recognized by the Italian authorities. You must go through validation and possibly further examinations or training. Regarding the state exam, it is typically conducted in Italian, not English. Proficiency in the Italian language is crucial for practicing medicine in Italy, as it is necessary for patient interactions and professional communication. Good luck with your plans!

Hi! About permisson of staying in country, what if I'll be married with an Italian? I'm not joking 😅 And also, this situation could make things to be more easily? And also, they are looking for dentists? 👀

[@visalibrary]

If you marry an Italian citizen, you can apply for a residence permit through family reunification. This process can make it easier for you to stay in Italy legally. Marriage to an Italian citizen can also speed up the process of obtaining long-term residency and, eventually, Italian citizenship. As for working as a doctor or dentist, Italy does have a demand for healthcare professionals, including dentists. However, you will need to get your medical qualifications recognized in Italy and may need to pass additional exams or complete specific requirements.

[@sharon____0123]

And can i immigrate to italy after completing mbbs in india, is it sufficient? Or should i look forward to completing post graduation aswell before applying for practicing as a psychiatrist in italy?

[@visalibrary]

If you've completed your MBBS in India, you can immigrate to Italy and apply for medical license recognition, but it’s not sufficient to start practicing as a psychiatrist right away. You’ll need to get your medical degree recognized by the Italian Ministry of Health (Ministero della Salute) and pass an Italian language exam (B2 or higher). After that, you must complete a post-graduate specialization in Psychiatry in Italy, as the specialization from India might not be fully recognized. It’s advisable to pursue your post-graduation (specialization) in Italy directly, as this will make your licensing process smoother and allow you to practice without additional hurdles.

I have OET . Should i do any italian language test and which is preferred

[@visalibrary]

Yes, you'll likely need to take an Italian language test to immigrate to Italy and practice medicine. Here's the breakdown: OET Recognition: While the OET (Occupational English Test) is important for demonstrating English language proficiency, it doesn't fulfill the Italian language requirement for doctors. Italian Language Test: You'll need to take an Italian language proficiency test recognized by the Italian Ministry of Health. Preferred Tests: There isn't a single "preferred" test, but some commonly accepted options include: CILS (Certificazione di Italiano come Lingua Straniera): Offered by the University for Foreigners of Siena, this test comes in various levels (A1 to C2) CELI (Certificato di Conoscenza della Lingua Italiana): Offered by the University for Foreigners of Perugia, CELI also has multiple levels (A1 to C2)

8500 a month ???? Or year ???

[@visalibrary]

Hi! If you're referring to a doctor's salary in Italy, €8,500 per year would be far too low for a medical professional. For doctors in Italy, the average salary is around €5,000 to €7,000 per month, depending on specialization and experience. Senior doctors or specialists can earn even more, sometimes reaching €8,000 to €10,000 per month. So, if you heard €8,500, it's more likely referring to a monthly salary, not yearly. Let me know if you need more details!
