Italy

Prerequisites

Steps to follow

Recommendations

Valid Passport or National ID

Ensure your passport or national ID card is valid for the duration of your stay in Italy.

Registration with Local Authorities (Iscrizione Anagrafica)

If you plan to stay in Italy for more than three months, you must register with the local municipality (Comune) where you will be living. This process is known as "Iscrizione Anagrafica."

Health Insurance

You must have health insurance coverage in Italy. If you are employed, you will be covered by the Italian National Health Service (Servizio Sanitario Nazionale, SSN). You can also apply for the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) before moving, which provides temporary health coverage. Alternatively, you can get private health insurance if you are not employed or want additional coverage.

Employment

As an EU citizen, you do not need a work permit to work in Italy. Employers may ask for proof of identity and your registration with the local authorities.

Housing

Arrange accommodation before or soon after your arrival. The housing market can be competitive, particularly in larger cities like Rome, Milan, and Florence, so it's advisable to start looking early.

Bank Account

Opening an Italian bank account is recommended for salary payments and everyday transactions. You will need a valid ID, proof of address, and sometimes proof of employment to open an account.

Tax Code (Codice Fiscale)

You will need a Codice Fiscale (tax code) for various administrative processes in Italy, including opening a bank account, signing a lease, and employment. You can obtain it from the Agenzia delle Entrate (Italian Revenue Agency).

Language

While many Italians speak English, proficiency in Italian is highly beneficial for daily life, integration, and job opportunities.
