Studying in Padua

Welcome to UNIPD!

Enter and residence

International students in Padua need to go through a number of procedures that will differ according to:

their nationality (European or non-European);
the length of their stay (more or less than 90 days);
their student status (international mobility or study programmes, or standard enrolment on an entire course).

All students are subject to Italian law regulating residence permits for foreign nationals. Please visit the following website for more information.

Healthcare

Students coming from EU countries can benefit from medical assistance in Italy thanks to the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC, in Italian “TEAM”) issued by the competent health institution in your country of residence. The EHIC must be valid abroad: please verify that the European medical assistance section is filled out with your personal data.

If you stay in Italy for more than 12 months, we recommend that you transfer your legal residence to Italy. To this end, the relevant health institution in your country of residence will have to issue the S1 form, which entitles you to receive the same medical assistance as an Italian citizen, and hand it in to the nearest Social Health District (Distretto Socio Sanitario).

Non-European students must hold a valid medical insurance in order to apply for their residence permit. The medical insurance can be obtained through private insurance or the voluntary registration in the National Health Service.
