From your arrival in Italy and throughout your stay, you must have health coverage. You have several options: European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) card, private health insurance or registration with the Italian National Health Service (SSN).
If you have a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) from your EU country of origin, you are entitled to all medically necessary treatment.
You can obtain healthcare services directly from a public or contracted provider by presenting the EHIC. You will be provided the service free of charge, except for any co-payment (“ticket”) which is paid directly by patients and is not reimbursable.
With the EHIC, you can go directly to a general practitioner (also known as a family doctor) by choosing from the list of affiliated general practitioners (MMG) available on the Salute Bologna website, if you study in Bologna, or the AUSL della Romagna website, if you are studying at other campuses.
You cannot use the EHIC for 'planned treatment abroad', i.e. predictable treatment (e.g. non-urgent dental treatment, spa treatment, etc.).
If you are in possession of a certificate of entitlement other than the EHIC, as a general rule, in order to be entitled to healthcare, you must first present this certificate to one of the Local Health Authority Desks (CUP), which will check whether you can register with the National Health Service (SSN), in which case you will be entitled to full healthcare under the same conditions as Italian citizens.
Access to healthcare may vary depending on the certificate of entitlement you possess. Ask the Local Health Authority Desk (CUP) for more information when registering.
See the list of Local Health Authority Desks (CUP) in Bologna and Romagna (provinces of Cesena, Forlì, Ravenna and Rimini).
If you have neither an EHIC card nor a Certificate of Entitlement, you must take out private health insurance valid in Italy or register with the Italian National Health Service (SSN), where applicable.
If you have private health insurance, you can go to any general practitioner. If you need to see a specialist, you can choose which doctor you to go directly, possibly with the advice of the general practitioner.
Private health insurance policies:
If your stay is for study purposes, check with one of Local Health Authority Desks (CUP) to see if you can register with the Italian National Health Service (SSN). To register voluntarily with the National Health Service (SSN) as a student, you must be resident in Italy and pay an annual lump sum contribution of at least €700.
Registration with the SSN is on a calendar year basis, from 1 January to 31 December.
If you are employed or self-employed and pay taxes in Italy, you are entitled to free compulsory registration with the National Health Service (SSN). Check at one of the Local Health Authority Desks (CUP) how to register with the SSN.
If you have been living in Italy for at least five years, you can apply to the municipality where you live for an 'Attestato di Soggiorno Permanente' (Permanent Residence Certificate), which entitles you to registration with the National Health Service and a choice of general practitioner. Check at one of the Local Health Authority Desks (CUP) how to register with the SSN.
If you apply for or have a residence permit for study purposes, the minimum cost will be €700 per year from 2024. Registration is per calendar year only (e.g. from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024) and it is not possible to pay reduced fees for shorter periods.
It is possible to pay to register for the current year and also for the entire following calendar year (e.g. 2024 and 2025). This possibility grants health coverage for one academic year and is useful for students who arrive, for example, in September and intend to apply for a 1-year residence permit for study purposes.
The minimum contribution is €2,000 to cover dependant family members per year.
To register:
Go to a Local Health Authority Desk (CUP). See the list of Local Health Authority Desks (CUP) in Bologna and Romagna (provinces of Cesena, Forlì, Ravenna and Rimini).
Take with you:
Ask for information on how to pay the voluntary student registration fee; remember that the payment must be made using the ordinary F24 form.
You have to complete the sections:
Pay the annual lump sum using form F24 for each year of registration with the SSN at post offices, banks, online via your bank account or with Pagobancomat, Postepay or Postamat cards and keep the receipts.
Make a copy of the receipts and attach them to your application for the first issue or renewal of your residence permit.
After submitting your application for a residence permit, return to the Local Health Authority Desk (CUP) as soon as possible to activate your health coverage and choose a general practitioner.
Take with you:
Payment alone does not imply coverage. You have to complete registration at the offices of a Local Health Authority and choose a general practitioner.
If you are paying for two consecutive years, remember that at the end of the current year you must return to the CUP with the payment receipt for the following year, and ask for the service to be activated.
Always check the coverage end date.

If your embassy or consulate requires your pre-enrolment to be validated without reservation, go to the 'Career activation and badge' section of this page to find out how to do this.
Remember that pre-enrolment does guarantee admission to degree programmes. To enrol, you must also meet the admission requirements and pass the entrance exams required by the degree programme.
The University of Bologna does not issue letters of academic eligibility for the purpose of obtaining a visa.
An entry visa for tourism cannot be used for university enrolment or to obtain a residence permit for study purposes.

From the moment you arrive in Italy and throughout your stay, you must be covered by private health insurance or by the Italian National Health Service. You can only register with the Italian National Health Service after your arrival in Italy. If you intend to do so, you may consider purchasing short-term private insurance to cover the trip and the first period in Italy (unless otherwise specified by the Embassy for the purposes of obtaining your visa). If you do not intend to do so, you may consider buying a longer private insurance policy (at least 1 year).
Entry visa for 'study/university enrolment’ purposes
If you do not yet have a long-term visa, make an appointment at the Embassy or Consulate and bring with you:
You will need to obtain a “Study - University Enrolment” visa, the required documents and possibly an Italian tax code from the Embassy or Consulate.
Validating your identity means associating your account name.surname@studio.unibo.it with your identity.
Your identity will be validated automatically, without you having to do anything, if one of the following applies:
