How to Book an Italy Visa Appointment on Prenot@Mi (Step by Step)

What is Prenot@Mi?

Prenot@Mi (prenotami.esteri.it) is the official online booking system of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Italian consulates in the US require you to book your visa appointment through this portal before you can submit your application.

Step 1 — Create an account

Go to prenotami.esteri.it and click Register. You'll need a valid email address. After registering, verify your email, then log in.

Step 2 — Find your consulate

Select your consulate based on the state you live in. Use our jurisdiction finder if you're unsure which consulate serves you.

Step 3 — Book a visa appointment

• Choose the 'Schengen Visa' service category.
• Pick an available date and time slot.
• Confirm and print your booking confirmation.

Why slots disappear so fast

Demand is high and consulates release slots in small batches. Many users refresh daily and still miss out. If you'd rather skip the wait, we monitor the system around the clock and secure your appointment for you — typically within 1-48 hours.
