Arrival & settling in
Getting into Italy is not the same as being legally settled in Italy — there’s a real sequence of registrations after you land, each one unlocking the next, and several of them run on genuine legal deadlines.
Your first week
Airport transfer, a working local SIM, and finding the nearest supermarket sound trivial until you’re actually jet-lagged in a new country — we hand you a first-week checklist specific to your city, so the practical basics are sorted before the administrative ones start.
Codice fiscale
Your Italian tax code is the single most-used document in the entire process — you need it to sign a rental contract, open a bank account, register with the health service, and eventually apply for your permesso. We book the appointment and tell you exactly what to bring.
Permesso di soggiorno
Applying for your residence permit has a real, legally-mandated window after you enter Italy — miss it and you risk your status. We walk you through whichever path applies to you (a permesso kit submitted at the post office, or a CAF handling the paperwork on your behalf) and what to bring to the appointment.
Residenza, health cover, transport, and utilities
Registering your residenza with the local comune is what unlocks an Italian ID and simplifies several later steps; SSN registration (and, before it’s active, private or international insurance) covers your healthcare; a student transport pass keeps your daily commute affordable, with the real scheme depending on your city; and utilities need to be transferred into your name even when you never touch a bill directly, to avoid a fine for an unregistered account. Each of these has its own guided step, in order, on your dashboard — never all thrown at you at once.
