  "description": "The Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale's (MAECI) bilingual Italian/English 'Domanda di visto nazionale (D)' / 'National Visa Application (D)' -- the long-stay (Type D) national visa a non-EU/EEA/Swiss national applies for at an Italian embassy or consulate for a stay exceeding the 90-day Schengen short-stay limit, for purposes including family reunification, religious reasons, sport, mission, diplomatic travel, medical treatment, study, adoption, salaried employment, or self-employment. Opens Italy's Visa vertical (1 of 6). The source is a static, unauthenticated, free-of-charge PDF distributed directly from esteri.it, with no AcroForm layer (confirmed via pdfjs-dist returning zero Widget annotations on pages 1-2 and only unrelated Link annotations on page 3) -- a hand-fill/print specimen, following this registry's coordinate/prose-position extraction convention for static PDFs (e.g. hr/mvep/zahtjev-za-dugotrajnu-vizu, pl/mf/zeznanie-pit-37). A field-by-field reconciliation against the already-modelled EU-harmonized long-stay-visa template lineage (de/auswaertiges-amt/national-visa-application, bg/mvnr/zayavlenie-za-izdavane-na-natsionalna-viza-tip-d, es/maec/solicitud-visado-nacional, hr/mvep/zahtjev-za-dugotrajnu-vizu) confirmed this is NOT a duplicate: this form has no spouse, children, or parents sections at all (unlike Germany's and Bulgaria's forms), no criminal-conviction or notifiable-disease disclosure questions, and no accommodation-type or previous-stays-in-Italy blocks -- while carrying genuinely Italy-specific content none of the siblings carry: a Schengen-first-country-of-entry field (item 22), a numeric maximum-365-day intended-stay cap (item 24), a two-sided EU-Annex-I-style travel-funding block naming both an applicant-covered and a sponsor-covered means-of-subsistence pathway (item 28), a dedicated 'personal data of the family member who is an EU, EEA or CH citizen' block plus its own family-relationship taxonomy (items 29-30, with no counterpart on any sibling long-stay-visa template in this registry), and a closing declaration citing Article 331 of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure (criminal referral for false statements) and the Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali (Italy's data-protection supervisory authority) by name. See VERIFICATION.md for the full item-by-item reconciliation table. This v1.0.0 models: the applicant identity and marital-status block (items 1-9), the minors'-guardian and travel-document block (items 10-16), residence-in-a-third-country and current occupation/employer (items 17-19), the 11-category purpose-of-journey taxonomy (item 20), destination and Schengen-first-entry data (items 21-22), entries/duration/arrival (items 23-25), the family-reunification/employer-in-Italy contact block (item 26), the host company/organization contact block (item 27), the two-sided travel-funding block (item 28), the EU/EEA/CH family-member data and relationship blocks (items 29-30), and the place-and-date of signing (item 31). It deliberately does NOT model the 'Spazio riservato all'Amministrazione' (For Office use only) column running down page 1 (application date, application number, receiving mission/service provider, case handler, documents-received checklist, visa decision, validity dates, number of entries and days granted) -- entirely consular-adjudication-only content, not applicant-facing -- nor the physical signature itself (item 32), per this registry's standing convention. It does not submit the application; the live source is always authoritative.
