Permit of stay

If you are a non-European/EEA citizen and you wish to study your Ph.D. at SISSA, you must apply for a permit of stay in order to legally stay in Italy. With the visa issued by the Italian Consulate/Embassy in your country of origin, you must apply within 8 working days for your permit of stay.

You should always carry with you your permit to stay or the post-office receipt issued upon handling the application.

Steps

1. Application for the permit of stay
2. Appointment at the Questura
3. Getting your permit of stay

Tips

• To the appointment take all the documents you have. :)
• Check regularly whether your permit of stay is ready
• Never miss an appointment for fingerprinting (it's quite a nightmare to take another one)!!
