DOCUMENTS NEEDED
02 Visa
To enter Italy, non-European must obtain a Visa from the
Italian Embassy/Consulate in their country of origin.
All the necessary information about the procedure for
submitting a visa application can be found on the link
http://vistoperitalia.esteri.it/home/en
An entry visa is a travel document authorising the student
to enter Italy but not to stay for the entire period of the
Master. To stay legally in Italy, students must apply for a
residence permit within 8 days of their arrival in Italy.
Without a Visa you will not be able to apply for a
residence permit and without a residence permit you
cannot stay in Italy for more than 90 days.
03 Health care insurance
Non-European students must necessarily have health
insurance that covers them for the whole period they
remain in Italy.
European students can benefit of services provided by the
European health insurance card.
Both types of students, once in possession of private
insurance or the European health insurance card, can
benefit from the National or private Health Service and
be reimbursed once they return to their country of origin
in accordance to what provided by their insurance for any
medical expenses sustained during their stay in Italy.

ACCOMMODATION
04 Finding accommodation
You can use different channels to find the accommodation

15 days before the scheduled starting date of the Master
in order to establish your permanent residence before
starting your studies, choosing the place best suited to your
needs. It is always advised to book at least a temporary
accommodation for the first and/or second week so you
can look for your permanent accomodation with ease.
We would remind you that the lease is signed ONLY

for any problems or irregularities that may arise between

RESIDENCE VISA
Upon delivery of the kit to the Post Office, the operator
will issue a receipt containing a user ID and a password,
a payment receipt and a sheet containing the data for
the first appointment at the police station nearest to the
student’s residence.
On the immigration portal (www.portaleimmigrazione.it),
inserting the user id and password found on the receipt
for delivery of the kit in the “area riservata stranieri” (area
reserved to foreigners), you can find general information
on how your request is proceeding.
Until the moment your electronic residence permit is
issued, you must keep the first receipt issued by the Post
Office because it is considered a temporary residence
permit and certifies the student’s legal residence in Italy.
For special requests/information on specific cases, you
can refer to:

INSURANCE
11 How to take out health
insurance
As indicated earlier, having health insurance also valid
for Italy is important because it is necessary to apply for a
residence permit.
Non-EU nationals are often required to take out an
insurance contract to be able to start Visa procedures
and, generally, it is validated by the Italian representative
before departure, but if the student still has to take out
insurance, he/she can choose between two options:
• Private insurance policy
• National Health Service
The National Health Service (SSN) provides
comprehensive health care: it is possible to choose a
doctor of reference who will take care of any health
problems free and prescribe the relative medicines, tests
and any specialist visits necessary.
Validity: 1 calendar year (from 1 January to 31 December)
More information about the characteristics of the
service and for submitting the application can
be found on the following link of the Ministry of
