The time, the money you will spend to apply, alltogether, is not worth it. Just Fly to Munich and get some cheap ticket to whatever city in Italy you need.
The german consulate told me if you enter germany with rtd and no viza can not go out of germany....it can be done easy since there are no borders but if the italian police stops you would be problems....samird said:The time, the money you will spend to apply, alltogether, is not worth it.

In FEB 2004, I entered Germany without a VISA and went to Amsterdam, Switzerland, Italy all without any problems. I took a Express Train from Frankfurt to Zurich, Switzerland and the swiss cops came on board the train. Mind you, Switzerland is not part of any schengen but the cop looked at my passport and asked how many days I was here for and thats it.
From Switzerland to Italy in a train, Italian Cops also came board. Very rude. But took my passport and came back in 5 minutes with no problem.
I flew out from Milan to JFK and the officer didn't say why I didn't have a visa.
That was before the stupid london bombings..so depending on your nationality, obtain a visa if you think somoene will profile you.

Thanks for the replies guys. How much does it cost to get a VISA? Is it expensive? I'm planning to meet my family there next year and trying to prepare everything in advance.

Since you got plenty of time I would definitely get a visa...I read on the web that Italy had a new anti-terror law come into effect the last few days so I would not mess around for about $60-$80 and a week+ of wait...
