10 bis notification specimen

IMPORTANT - If after the fingerprints appointment you receive a document like the one on the right, it means you missed one or more documents in your envelope. In order to fix the situation you MUST send an e-mail to Ts Immigrazione (immigrazione.ts@poliziadistato.it) with the following object: YOUR SURNAME, Your Name, "responsabile dell'istruttoria" and the initials of the name of the Questura Officer (they are written in the document).

Students' Secretariat can help you with and can send the documents to Questura for you.

General Information

If you are a non-European/EEA citizen and you wish to complete your Ph.D. at SISSA, you must apply for a permit of stay in order to legally stay in Italy.

The request for the permit of stay must be made WITHIN 8 WORKING DAYS of your arrival in Italy.

The permit of stay is issued at the Police Headquarters (Questura) by the immigration office (Ufficio immigrazione) in Trieste (opening hours). It entitles you to temporarily live in Italy, and to visit any Schengen country.

You should always carry with you your permit of stay.

During the period of issuing of your permit (usually 3-4 months after your request) you should always carry with you the post-office receipt issued upon handing in the application (called 'Assicurata') along with an ID document (expired permit or passport).

Application for the permit of stay

In order to request your permit of stay you should fill in a documentation kit RICHIESTA DI RILASCIO/RINNOVO DEL PERMESSO/CARTA DI SOGGIORNO PER CITTADINI STRANIERI which you can obtain at the SISSA Reception, at the Students' Secretariat or in the main post office of Trieste (address: Piazza Vittorio Veneto, 1).

6. Copy of the insurance policy valid in Italy for the entire period of validity of the permit of stay, which will cover you in case of illness and injury (see Health Insurance). Note: It is strongly recommended to take the public health insurance (SSN) because, if you are a Ph.D students, SISSA will reimburse you for its cost.

IMPORTANT

All these documents must be enclosed and put inside the kit envelope RICHIESTA DI RILASCIO/RINNOVO DEL PERMESSO/CARTA DI SOGGIORNO PER CITTADINI STRANIERI. THE ENCLOSED DOCUMENTS SHOULD BE COPIES (YOU MUST KEEP THE ORIGINALS) EXCEPT FOR FORM 1. The envelope should not be closed because the post office will check all your documents before accepting the application.

How much does applying for a permit of stay cost?

You will have to apply for a new permit of stay each year. These are the costs you can except to pay each time you apply for or renew your permit of stay.

• Application fee: € 30.00
• Cost of the electronic permit: € 70.46
• Marca da bollo: € 16.00
• Health Insurance: € 149.77 (National Health Insurance for this year and for next year) = € 299.54. Note: if you are a PhD student the Health Insurance costs will be reimbursed by SISSA.

Where to submit the application kit?

The receipt issued by the post office - The Assicurata number is circled in red

After having filled in Form 1 of the documentation kit and enclosed ALL the additional documents required, go to the Main Post Office (Piazza Vittorio Veneto 1) and personally hand in the open envelope of the kit. The Post office clerk will ask you to show your passport (or an identity document). You will be then asked to pay a post charge of € 30.00 for the application and € 70.46 for the electronic permit of stay.

You will receive a receipt from the post office ('Assicurata') which you must always keep with you together with your passport, as this is proof of your permit of stay until the original arrives. This receipt contains a number (Numero Assicurata) that will allow you to check online the progress of your permit of stay.

You will also receive a note with the date of your appointment for fingerprinting at the immigration office of the Questura (usually a few weeks after your request, during Covid Emergency after 3 months).

Appointment at the Questura

Once your request has been accepted, you will receive an appointment by registered letter to go to the immigration office (ufficio immigrazione) of the Questura in Trieste (opening hours) in order to have your fingerprints taken.

If you find on the Internet the information regarding the time and date of your appointment at the police but you have not received the registered letter, you can print out the relevant Internet page and take it with you to the immigration office of the Questura.

On the portaleimmigrazione website you can track the progress of your application. If you find a message there stating that the documentation you submitted is incomplete (documentazione non completa) or that it was wrongly filled in (documentazione non completata correttamente), do not worry as when you get the appointment and go to the immigration office at the Questura you will be able to bring the missing documents or make any necessary corrections.

Important: never miss an appointment for fingerprinting (it's quite a nightmare to get another one)!!

Documents

When you go for the fingerprinting remember to take with you:

• your passport
• the registered letter containing the details about the appointment at the Questura.
• the originals of all the documents you have submitted through the post office.
• A copy of your lease contract or copy of the declaration made by the landlord to the Questura that you are living in their apartment (modulo di cessione del fabbricato to be signed by the landlord). The landlord should submit this declaration to the Questura when you move to their place; alternatively, you can provide any other documentary proof of your accommodation.

Note that you will NOT be called by the Questura to collect your permit of stay. After completing the application, you can check online whether your permit of stay has been issued.

Approximately two months after your fingerprints have been taken, you have to go personally to the Questura to collect your permit of stay. They will be open from 14.30 to 17.00 on Mondays and Thursdays.
