Italian Residence Permit
The InterMaths team will assist you with preparing all the required documentation, which includes a couple of forms to be filled in and, among others:
A full copy of your passport (every single page, cover included)
A copy of your health insurance card
Accommodation proof
A temporary one from a hotel/B&B will also work (you may submit proof of your permanent accommodation at a later stage when visiting the Immigration Office)
Financial proof
Enrolment certificate
All you need to do is visit an Italian post office and withdraw the required form known as "kit permesso di soggiorno" ("soggiorno" sounds like "sojjorno"). Then, bring it to campus and we'll fill it in together!
After that, put all the required documents (including blank forms) back in the envelope, visit an Italian post office once again and complete the submission process (including payment of the required fees) with the post office clerks. After that, your application will be submitted to the L'Aquila Ufficio Immigrazione ("questura" in Italian, which sounds like "kuestura") via the post office itself.
At the end of the submission process, the clerk at the post office will hand you out three receipts, which will be considered as your temporary residence permit (always carry a copy with you whenever you're around and drop one off at our Registrar's Office to confirm your enrolment).
On such receipts, you'll also find the date and time of the appointment fixed for you at the L'Aquila police station (Questura, Ufficio Immigrazione) to complete the rest of the required procedures, which includes an interview for fingerprints (carry your passport & 4 ID-size photos). Eventually, you'll be summoned for another appointment to collect your final (plastic) permit card - the one you can see on this page.
The whole process will be complete in approximately 2 months (but it might even take longer) and will cost you around 120 euros.
