If you are an EU citizen, you need to register in the "Ufficio Anagrafe" (Registry Office) by booking an appointment on www.comune.milano.it, section ‘’Servizi on line’’ – ‘’Servizi Anagrafici’’ – ‘’Residenza Stranieri’’.
You should present the following documents:

• your passport or ID card
• one matriculation letter issued by the Politecnico di Milano
• photocopy of the documentation certifying the availability of adequate financial resources, about 5,600 euro (e.g. scholarship certification and print out of your bank account)
• your health insurance

You will be asked to fill out the registration form.

If you are a citizen of a non-EU country, you will fill out the so-called kit to apply for a residence permit within 8 working days after your arrival in Italy.
Please ask your Desk of reference for information regarding the collection of the Kit, which should be completed with the following documents:

• A photocopy of your passport (only the pages with personal information and visa)
• One enrolment letter issued by Politecnico di Milano. In some cases you could be asked to submit the admission letter issued by Politecnico di Milano, stamped by the Italian Diplomatic/Consular representative (for Master students) or the Modello A you filled out at the Italian Diplomatic/Consular representative (for Bachelor students)
• A copy of your health insurance. The health insurance can be bought abroad: in such case, it will have to be validated by the Italian Embassy in your country (if not already in English). You can also buy a health insurance upon your arrival in Italy

Once you have obtained your residence permit, you will have to register to the "Ufficio Anagrafe" (Registry Office) by booking an appointment on www.comune.milano.it, section ‘’Servizi on line’’ – ‘’Servizi Anagrafici’’ – ‘’Residenza Stranieri’’.
On the day of your appointment, you should take with you:

1. your passport+photocopy of pages with personal details and visa 
2. your residence permit card+photocopy of it 

When asking for your permit for the first time, please remember to specify that it is not a renewal.
