Has anyone applied for a tourist visa to italy ( while one's status in the US ia permanent resident). I am an indian citizen and therefore I need a visa to vist. Yhe requirements seem onerous. For example there is a requirement that I show proof that my medical insurance covers me for emergencies while outside the country, etc., In practice do they enforce this or will they issue the visa with proof of my current status in the uS and my bank/investment statemtns to show that I have no desire/benefit of sataying back in a EU country.
