The most convenient way to keep in touch with your new Italian friends and family back home is buying an Italian SIM card at cell phone providers such as TIM, 3, Vodafone or Wind. Only triband and quadband phones will work in Europe. Check with your home cell phone service provider to find out if your current cell phone (once unlocked) can support an international SIM card. Once in Italy, you may look into signing up for a plan or simply getting pre-paid/rechargeable service. If you do not have a GSM phone purchased at home, you may also buy one at a reasonable cost once in Italy. Mobile phones shops also provide Internet connection plans.
If you wish to open a bank account, rent an apartment or purchase the National Health Insurance cover, you will need a Tax Code, Codice Fiscale. It is a unique number of identification for tax purposes, issued free of charge by your Embassy – when you are still in your home Country – or by Agenzia delle Entrate – once you have arrived in Italy – upon presentation of the following: 
  • a valid identity document
  • a copy of your study Visa and Residency permit if you are a student coming from a Country outside the EU
  • Acceptance Letter / Student Card 
  • Application form

We recommend that you apply for the fiscal code BEFORE leaving home at your local Embassy.

Once you have arrived in Italy, you can apply in person, by making an appointment at Agenzia delle Entrate (in Piacenza or any other town, if an earlier date is available).
