Can I bring my husband from India to Italy during the current Middle East situation, and what is the process?
Yes, you can bring your husband from India to Italy. The current conflict in the Middle East does not affect visa applications from India; applications and travel between India and Italy remain open and operate normally (only some Middle Eastern airspace routes are restricted). Full support is provided for the invitation letter, travel insurance, appointment booking, and visa preparation at a cost of €99. For family reunification and prefettura clearances, utilize our Sportello Unico Immigrazione (SUI) services or book a family reunification consultation. Official Portals: Ministry of Interior SUI Services Portal and D.P.R. 394/1999 (Immigration Regulation Art. 29).
