Q & A

What is the importance of the first 30 days after arriving in Italy?

The first 30 days are crucial for setting up essential documentation, such as acquiring an Italian number, registering for health care, and applying for the permesso di soggiorno. Delaying these tasks could result in stress, bureaucratic delays, or even fines.

What should immigrants do immediately upon arrival in Italy?

Immigrants should acquire an Italian SIM card on the first or second day to facilitate communication for setting up appointments, contacting agencies, and avoiding complications with international calls.

What is the significance of the 'dichiarazione di ospitalità' (declaration of hospitality)?

This document is required for anyone staying with a host (such as in an Airbnb, hotel, or with family) in Italy. It confirms the address where the immigrant will stay and is necessary for applying for the permesso di soggiorno and registering their presence with local authorities.

What is the Codice Fiscale and why is it essential?

The Codice Fiscale is the Italian equivalent of a CPF or tax ID. It is necessary for nearly all official activities in Italy, including signing rental contracts, opening bank accounts, and registering for health services. Without it, you cannot complete these tasks.

Can immigrants obtain a Codice Fiscale immediately upon arrival?

While Italian citizens can apply for a Codice Fiscale online before arriving in Italy, immigrants usually cannot obtain it immediately. They must typically wait until their permesso di soggiorno is issued, which can take time.

What is the 'dichiarazione di presenza' and when should it be done?

The dichiarazione di presenza is a document that confirms an immigrant's arrival in Italy, especially if they entered through another Schengen country. It must be submitted within 8 days of arrival to inform local authorities of their presence.

What is the permesso di soggiorno and who needs to apply for it?

The permesso di soggiorno is a residence permit necessary for foreigners who are not citizens of Italy or the EU. It is required to legally stay and work in Italy. Immigrants must apply for it within 8 days if they entered with a visa, and it should be processed at a local post office.

How do immigrants register their residence in Italy?

To register their residence, immigrants need to visit the comune (municipality) with documents like a passport, Codice Fiscale, and rental agreement. This allows them to obtain their Italian identity card and start accessing services such as health care.

Can an immigrant open a bank account before registering their residence?

No, registering residence is typically a prerequisite for opening a bank account in Italy. The process ensures that the individual has a recognized address and legal standing within the country.

What steps should be taken if you have children while immigrating to Italy?

Once you have your residence and Codice Fiscale, you should enroll your children in school. Though residence isn’t required for school registration, it is more practical to register children in a school near your permanent residence.
