Passport
Fiscal Code (Codice Fiscale): Needed to pay taxes and open a bank account. To be issued with a code, you must attend an Ufficio Delle Entrate with your passport.
Bank account: You do not have to be resident to have one. You will need to take along your passport and fiscal code to a bank. Often a bank statement and a utility bill are also requested as proof of identity.
Residence permit (Permesso di Soggiorno): Valid for five years. To get one you will need to take your passport, passport-sized photos, a bank statement and a letter proving your address to police headquarters.
