Tessera Sanitaria
A step-by-step guide to obtaining a Tessera Sanitaria

Pay the Annual Fee: Head to a Post Office and pay the annual fee using a postal order (Bollettino Postale) for SSN. Keep the receipt.

If you are staying for study purposes you are entitled to two major benefits. You can:

• 1. Apply for registration to the Italian National Health Service (SSN – Servizio Sanitario Nazionale) even if staying for less than 3 months
• 2. Pay a fixed yearly lump sum: €149.77 for students

Note: The paid health care is an annual registration (January–December) and expires on December 31st of each year. It does not get prorated – meaning if you arrive in Italy in October and register with payment, you still pay the full year amount.

Gather the Required Documents:

• Passport
• Permit to Stay or Receipt
• Codice Fiscale
• Self-declaration of Residency (Residence certificate [Residenza]) – must match the address on your permit. A Rental Contract registered with Agenzia delle Entrate is necessary.
• Receipt of Payment (annual fee at the Post Office)
• Passport-size photos
• Additional Documents (depending on your status, e.g., student, relative, au pair, etc.)

Complete Registration: Submit the required documents to your ASL office and complete the registration. You will receive a receipt as proof until your Tessera Sanitaria arrives by mail.

• An appointment must be booked at the nearby ASL office to complete registration:
  • Use: prenota.zerocoda.it
  • In Cosa vuoi prenotare? select “Scelta / Revoca / Cambio del medico (Choice / Revocation / Change of doctor)”
  • In Dove?, provide the name of your city
  • Select the nearby ASL and book an appointment

Returning from India with Residence permit slip:
Foreigners awaiting renewal of their residence permits can leave and re-enter Italy if they hold:

• the receipt issued by Italian Post offices (Poste Italiane S.p.A) certifying the submission of the application
• the expired residence permit
• their passport or other equivalent travel document

The same facilitated procedure is granted to foreigners who have submitted their application for their first residence permits (employment, self-employment, or family reunification), provided that:

• they leave and re-enter Italy through any Italian external border crossing point (circular letter 11th March 2009);
• they show their passport or other equivalent travel document, along with the entry visa specifying the reasons for their stay and the receipt issued by Poste Italiane;
• they do not transit through other Schengen countries, as this is not allowed.

The circular letter (pdf 35 Kb) of 27 June 2007 states that foreigners who have children under 14 may request Questura to issue a temporary residence permit with limited validity, containing the children's personal details, allowing them to leave Italy temporarily.

Note: The only catch is not to transit or travel through/from any Schengen countries other than Italy.
