The Vatican City (Holy See) does not have universities or higher education institutions that grant degrees recognized for post-study work visas. As a sovereign city-state with a unique governance structure, it lacks immigration policies for foreign students seeking employment after studies.
Graduates from Pontifical universities in Rome, often affiliated with the Holy See, must explore Italy’s post-study options. Italy offers a one-year permit for job seekers (Permesso di Soggiorno per Attesa di Lavoro) to non-EU graduates, renewable if employment is secured. Applicants must meet financial requirements and apply within a year of graduation.
