Dear ERASMUS student, remember all the information below

BEFORE COMING

Before arriving in Rome, you should prepare the following documents:

Once your University has informed us that you will be an Erasmus student, you can also book a flat or a room and you will receive, by e-mail, a login code which will allow you to register on-line. You will be enrolled for the Italian language courses only after filling in the Italian language section of the on-line application form and after attending the Placement Test at Sapienza.



WHEN YOU ARRIVE

To live in Rome you need, in this order, the following documents:

  1. ERASMUS STUDENT CARD (obtained when you register with Dr. Simona Romano)
  2. CODICE FISCALE
  3. HEALTH INSURANCE
  4. RESIDENCE PERMIT


CODICE FISCALE

The Codice Fiscale is a personal number for tax purposes that you need to live in Italy; it is required to open a bank account, to obtain the access card to the refectory etc. To obtain your codice fiscale you have to go to one of the "Uffici delle Entrate" ("Income Offices"), if possible according to which "Circoscrizione" you will live in. The "Circoscrizioni" or "Municipi locali" are the 19 Municipalities in which Rome is divided, numbered with roman numbers; ask yours to your landlord. If you find difficulties, do not panic: you can try to go to any one. The easiest to reach is the first one, near Viale Trastevere.

HEALTH INSURANCE

One of the following possibility should apply to you:

  1. You are covered by the national Health Service in your own country and you have to present the European Health Insurance Card upon arrival (this replaces the old forms E111 or E128). This card simplifies the procedure when receiving medical assistance and allows to receive health care in accordance with the legislation of State of stay.
  2. You are covered by a private insurance in your country of origin and upon arrival you have to present an official translation made at the Italian Consulate or Embassy in the Country of origin, together with the declaration of the Italian Consulate that such an insurance will cover you in Italy in a form equivalent to the cover given by the European Health I>nsurance Card.
  3. You will take the special Insurance scheme, worked out for Erasmus students coming to our University, with INA-ASSITALIA Insurance Company


RESIDENCE PERMIT

As foreigners living in Roma, you have to register with the local Police for a residence permit.
If you are EU citizen ask for a Residence Card, at the Municipio of the district where you live (Iscrizione anagrafica).
If you are a non EU citizen you have to apply for a Residence permit at the Police station placed in the Campus. You will need proof of your status as an Erasmus student; a copy of your Erasmus student card will be requested. This should be done within 8 days after the arrival.
If your documents are lost or stolen, you should contact the offices of the "Questura" or "Carabinieri" in the district where you live. For more information see the Polizia di Stato web site
