BEFORE LEAVING

Are you organizing
a trip to Italy?

Whatever the reason is for staying in our country, every foreign citizen must prepare their valid travel document or passport, return ticket, entry permit or residence permit. But in addition, before arriving in Italy, you will have the obligation to stipulate healthcare insurance and, in some cases, even a bank guaranty policy.

The obligation of health insurance for foreign citizens has been regulated by the European legislation which has established that all foreign citizens applying for an entry permit or residence permit for staying Italy, must demonstrate, to the Italian Embassy or Consulate of the country of origin, to have stipulated healthcare insurance to guarantee coverage of any sudden medical expenses that the foreigner could incur during their stay.
