For the accreditation of media representatives - both Italian and foreigners - it is necessary to follow the procedures at the Official Portal of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation:
Registration is mandatory both for journalists working for foreign press (newspapers, magazines, radios and television) providing services as correspondents officially accredited in Italy who seek for a visa for a “subordinated job” and residence permit, and for those journalists (Italian and foreigners) interested in taking part in specific events organized by the Ministry of the Foreign Affairs.
