Erasmus and international students in Rovigo
Residence permit, codice fiscale, health care, bank.
Are you arriving in Rovigo from abroad for an Erasmus stay or a degree course? Here you will find guides to the formalities for your first few days: getting a tax code, applying for a residence permit if you come from outside the EU, registering with the health service, opening a bank account and finding language support services.
Different organisations handle these formalities: residence permits go through the Questura di Rovigo, healthcare through the Azienda ULSS 5 Polesana, and university services through the Consorzio Università Rovigo (CUR) and your university's international relations office. Each guide lists documents, addresses and a link to the official source.

This page is part of the Guides for students in Rovigo compiled by the Studenti Rovigo editorial team. At the bottom you will find frequently asked questions with short answers and, to explore further, links to the Buddy Program, first days, language exchange and student services; every place mentioned is also shown on the city map.
