HEAD OF STUDENT OFFICE
Contact
The Student Office is the primary point of contact for all students. From the very beginning of the academic path, we work to assist students to make the most of their time at the University. The Student Office assists international students in preparing their arrival in Rome, providing answers to their questions and informing them about all matters related to the visa process.
We also help students in their search for accommodation, and if you plan on working while studying in Rome, we also help with finding employment. Mostly, we encourage students to get involved in academic and non-academic initiatives, strengthening and stimulating a vibrant international community.
Long-Term Visa (Over 90 Days)
If you are planning to study in Italy for a period longer than 90 days, you must apply for a Long-term visa for study reasons (type D) at your local Italian Consulate or Embassy. This visa is valid for one year and it entitles you to travel inside the Schengen Area for a period of 90 days within 6 months.
If you are a Religious, it is also possible to apply for a visa for religious purposes.
The Visa is only issued by the country of origin.
Please see the website of Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to verify and deepen the given information, depending on your country of origin.
Required Documents
Originals and Copies of:
- Pre registration Certificate released by the University, (this document is not required if you apply for a religion purpose visa),
- Health Insurance for the full duration of stay and valid in all Schengen area countries. The policy must cover expenses in the event of emergency treatments and/or urgent hospitalization and must ensure repatriation in case of serious illness.
For the religious:
- Letter of assumption of responsibility (ndr. Lettera di presa in carico) released by the sponsoring religious institute that will be hosting you and responsible for your boarding and lodging, as well as for your insurance.
- This letter has to be endorsed (stamped) by the local Bishop and Vatican authorities.
For lay people:
- Self declaration in which it states you have sufficient financial means to support all expenses (tuition fees, insurance, rent…), possibly attaching certifying documents (i.e. scholarship, bank statement…).
- Letter of hospitality either by the person hosting you or a copy of the rental lease, plus a valid document of the owner.
SHORT STAY (UP TO 90 DAYS)
Foreigners entering Italy for periods that do not exceed 90 days, according to the Law no. 68/2007, do not need to apply for a residence permit.
The residence permit has been replaced by a Declaration of Presence on Italian soil.
For foreign people coming from countries outside of the Schengen Convention, the obligation to make a declaration of presence, is satisfied through application of the USV sticker on the travel document, at the moment of border control.
Foreigners from countries that apply the Schengen Convention are required, on the other hand, to submit a declaration of presence within 8 days of arrival to the police headquarters (Questura) of the district in which he/she is staying, using the proper form.
For those staying in hotels and other reception facilities, the declaration of presence is handled by the reception facility upon check-in, a copy of which is supplied to the guest to be displayed to authorities upon eventual request.
You need to provide the following documentation:
- Application for admission;
- Copy of a valid document;
- Copy of the Curriculum Vitae and Studiorum undertaken with mark sheets enclosed.
- Please remember that in order to complete your application, you will need to bring the original documents with you.
- Recommendation letter (lettera di presentazione) stating the good faith, the morality and the willing to study of the student signed according to conditions, as follows:
- Lay students have to provide a recommendation letter signed and stamped by the Ordinary of their diocese;
- All religious have to provide an authorization letter from their own Superior;
- Clerics and seminarians have to provide an authorization letter from the Rector of the student’s College of residence;
- Secular or religious priests living outside the Diocese of Rome must present the nihil obstat of their own Ordinary, which proves their diocesan incardination, or affiliation to a particular religious institute, and the place of their habitual residence;
- Diocesan priests have to provide a letter signed and stamped by their bishop.
- Those diocesan priests residing in Rome in a non officially authorized College need an authorization from the Office of Clerics, issued by the Vicariate of Rome.

Our students generally subscribe to a convenient insurance company called INA ASSITALIA that covers urgent hospitalization expenses.

Students in temporary stay can register at the Ufficio Anagrafe (Registry Office) as Temporary Present Citizens Registry (Schedario della Popolazione Temporanea).
It can be requested by:
- Italian citizens who have been living for at least 4 months in a different city from the one of residence;
- Third country nationals (not belonging to the EU countries), who have been living, in this case, in Rome for at least four months, but kept their residence abroad or in any other Italian municipality;
- EU citizens who have been living, in this case, in Rome for at least 3 months, but kept their residence abroad or in any other Italian municipality;
- The registration in the Temporary Registry Office does not imply the release of any certificate. The Registration is valid for one year, but EU citizens can ask to extend the registration as long as they specify the reason for their request.
The Registry Office will issue the ‘Attestazione di Regolarità di iscrizione temporanea’ (temporary registration certificate) immediately, free of charge, stating the regularity of your temporary registration.
If you are looking for a place to stay in Rome, whether at private houses or religious institutes, please send an email at ufficiostudenti@pust.it, specifying your budget and needs.
