Stay Permit Application (Only for NON EU Students)
The Stay Permit (Permesso di Soggiorno) is a document that all non-EU students will need to apply for in order to stay and study in Italy legally.
The request for the Stay Permit must be done within 8 working days from your arrival in Italy. The Stay Permit will be issued by the local Police Headquarters - Immigration Office (Questura - Ufficio Immigrazione).
You can get in touch with the Campus Management and Front Office of the IMT School that will book for you an appointment with the Immigration Office of the Police Headquarters and guide you with the application of your Stay permit.
- Form 1 (Modello 1) given by the Campus Management and Front Office, to fill with your general information and your Visa Information;
- 4 colour passport-size photos on white background;
- The Invitation letter sent to you by the School;
- A copy of all pages of your passport (except the blank pages);
- Copy of the health insurance policy (when you arrive in Italy for the first time we recommend you to apply for a health insurance that covers you for at least throughout the current year);
- Receipt of the postal bulletin (bollettino postale) of € 70,46 (cost of your Stay Permit card) that you will have to pay at any post offices;- Duty stamp (marca da bollo) of € 16,00;
On that day, you will complete the process for the issuing of your Italian Stay Permit and you will be fingerprinted too.
The local Police Headquarters - Immigration Office (Questura - Ufficio Immigrazione) is in: Via Montanara, 3055100 Lucca (Link to the map)
You will be able to collect your Stay Permit usually in one or two months. The Immigration Office will send you an SMS on your mobile telephone once ready.
You can show him/her the receipts given to you by the Post Office since they substitute temporarily the Stay Permit.
No, you cannot. It is a personal document that the Immigration Office can only hand in to you.
Your first Stay Permit will last one year (the same duration of your Study Visa). It will be possible to apply for a 2 years Stay Permit only at your first renewal.
