Study visa and pre-enrolment
Students who require a visa should check Universitaly, the Italian diplomatic authority in their country and the documents requested by the Conservatorio or call.
Visa and residence
Official steps depend on nationality and length of stay.
A light orientation page for visa, residence permit, tax code and health-insurance topics. Always verify final rules through official authorities.
Checklist
Use this page as a first operational route.
The checklist keeps the page short: read the three main points, then open the official links or contact the office if something is still unclear.
Residence permit and tax code
For stays over 90 days, non-EU students normally start the residence-permit procedure after arrival and need an Italian tax code for enrolment, rent, bank and public services.
Insurance and SSN orientation
Prepare valid health insurance before travelling and verify whether private coverage, ASL registration or voluntary registration with the Italian National Health Service applies.
Next action
Open only the links you need.
Use official portals for final checks and the request form for questions that require office guidance.
