The long-stay type D National visa allows the holder to stay in the territory of the Schengen state that issued the visa for more than 90 days. Holders can also travel across the Schengen area for up to three months in a 180-day period. These visas are usually granted to those who seek to move to a Schengen country for taking up employment or education, as well as for family reasons. The number of National visas issued by Italy fluctuated between 2002 and 2023, peaking in 2007, with 363,000 long-stay visas granted. Since then, figures decreased until 2016, when a gradual increase was recorded. In 2023, Italy issued 233,000 D visas, compared to 400,000 granted by Germany and 295,000 authorized by France.
