• The duration of your Residency Permit cannot be longer

Italy more than 1 year, you will have to renew it at least
once.
CODICE FISCALE
If you wish to open a bank account, rent an apartment or buy an Italian
telephone card you will need a Tax Number called Codice Fiscale. It is a unique
number of identification for tax purposes. This card is issued by Agenzia delle
Entrate upon presentation of a valid identity document and a copy of your Visa
(if you are not an E.U. student). The application for Codice Fiscale is free of
