The main questions/doubts concerning international mobility issues are listed below, divided by topic. Please note that the information is of a general nature, any specific and more complex cases should always be discussed with the respective reference offices of the municipality (Prefecture, Police Headquarters, Health Districts).

Entry and stay (NON-EU citizens)

The declaration of presence is required from foreigners who enter the national territory for stays of less than 90 days with a visa or exemption and who have passed through the Schengen area. The declaration serves to certify the date of entry into the territory in the absence of a stamp in the passport, for the purposes of calculating the length of stay in Italy and in the Schengen area. Movement in the Schengen area follows the principle of 90 days every 180. The EU calculator is available for this purpose. The declaration of presence is NOT required if
• you transit directly to Italy
• you are staying in an accommodation facility such as a hotel, B&B, residence.

The permit must always be requested by non-EU citizens if their stay in Italy exceeds 90 days (from the 91st day on) and always with a long-term visa (type D visa).

No, the application for the first issue of the residence permit must be made within 8 days of your arrival in Italy, not of your arrival at the place/institution of study. The kit for the permit can be sent from anywhere in Italy, it is sufficient to indicate in the form the Questura where you will be domiciled (e.g. Trieste).

No, the application for the first issue of a residence permit must be made within 8 days of arriving in Italy. In addition, anyone entering on a research visa must inform the institute of their arrival in Italy, as the institute must make an appointment at the Immigration Office of the Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia to register their entry and deliver the pre-filled permit application kit. The researcher must therefore go to their place of work to send the kit.
