The treasure at the end of your quest (a permit of stay - specimen)

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.

You have to apply for the permit of stay WITHIN 8 WORKING DAYS from 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 Area country.

After applying for the permit of stay you must carry with you the post-office receipt issued upon handing in the application (called 'Assicurata') along with an ID document (expired permit or passport). The original permit of stay will be delivered in 2 or 3 months after the application.

You must always carry your permit of stay with you

Application for the permit of stay

In order to request your permit of stay you should fill in a documentation kit called RICHIESTA DI RILASCIO/RINNOVO DEL PERMESSO/CARTA DI SOGGIORNO PER CITTADINI STRANIERI which you can collect at the SISSA Reception, at the Students' Secretariat (room 222) or in the main post office of Trieste (address: Piazza Vittorio Veneto, 1).

"10 BIS" NOTIFICATION - MISSING DOCUMENTS AFTER FINGERPRINTS INTERVIEW
