Students wishing to study in Italy need to be covered by a health insurance
Non-EU Citizens
(3 months - stay permit holders included)
If you hold a permit of stay for study reasons and do not receive income other than scholarships or benefits provided by Italian public bodies, you can register with the Italian National Health Service (SSN). Registration provides the payment of an annual flat-rate contribution:
- Registration costs 700 Euro and is valid for a calendar year - i.e. January-December
- The amount must be paid by postal or banking payment slip (data and info from the Health District office); with model F24
- You must present form F24, the personal tax code, possible residence, to the Health District registry office;
Pursuant to Presidential Decree 445/2000, you will be asked to self-certify that you do not have income other than scholarships or benefits. A certificate of admission and degree programme attendance and a certificate proving the scholarship awarded - or the receipt of the benefits granted - must be attached to the self-certification.
This contribution is not valid for family members who are dependent
Please pay attention that if you are dependent on a family member who regularly stays in Italy, for one of those reasons that determine compulsory registration with the SSN (Italian National Health Service), you can be registered by right (compulsory).
