TAX CODE (MANDATORY FOR ALL STUDENTS)

All students must have a TAX CODE, an official identification number that is used to open bank accounts, have an Italian telephone card, sign a rental contract, etc..

How to get the Tax Code:

  • Before arriving in Italy and after receiving our acceptance letter - students can request the Tax Code at the consular authority in the country of residence (recommended!).
  • After arriving in Italy - you can refer to YESMILANO, the official guide of the city of Milan, which offers support to obtain the Tax Code.
    • CLICK HERE to book an appointment with the Revenue Agency's offices in presence, on the phone, or through video call, and obtain the tax code immediately on the same day of the appointment.

The Italian Revenue Agency branches are operating in back office and can be reached through e-mail. Many operations can be made online through simplified procedures.

Normally, the tax code can only be requested once you arrive in Italy, at the nearest Revenue Agency office. The Italian Revenue Agency / Agenzia Delle Entrate has several territorial offices / “uffici territoriali” to deal with citizens and and businesses, located in various areas of the City and its metro area.
Please note: Application for tax code at the Revenue Agency office can be done only if you are already in the city, NOT if you are still in your home country where the competent authority is the Consular office of your local Italian Embassy or consulate.


ENTRY VISA AND RESIDENCE PERMIT (ONLY FOR NON-EU STUDENTS)

Students not in possession of European citizenship must apply for an entry visa for study purposes at the Italian Embassy or Consulate of their own country. It may take about a month to complete all visa applications, so we recommend that you start the procedure as soon as possible.

The Mobility Office will send a letter of invitation to all students from non-European countries.

Within 8 days from arrival in Italy, students from outside Europe must apply for a residence permit at one of the authorized post offices. This document will allow you to stay in Italy for study purposes for a period of more than 90 days.

For more information on how to request the Permit of Stay and all the procedures, click here.

Students from an EU country do not need a residence permit to stay in Italy.


OTHER USEFUL DOCUMENTS AND INFORMATION FOR LIVING IN MILAN AND ITALY

Moving, however temporarily, to a new city is never easy; there are many administrative procedures involved and one can easily get lost among the different steps.

YESMILANO offers guidance and support to inform and help international students navigate their way through the bureaucratic paperwork. Click here to see an overview of mandatory and suggested documents for incoming students from abroad.

Students can always email [email protected] or book a One Stop Shop appointment with the YesMilano team.

Campus life

As an example of global architecture, the IULM University building adds further value to the excellence of its teaching. Following the model of the American campuses, the Athenaeum is a very modern complex, technologically advanced and equipped with structures and spaces designed to give space to study, research, but also to moments of socialization.

In addition to the curricular and extra-curricular cultural activities that IULM promotes for the development of leadership skills of young people on an international scale, you can participate in all student sports initiatives, coordinated by CUS Milan (University Sports Centre). IULM recognizes the educational value of sport and its relevance in the personal and professional development of individuals.

Located in a constantly evolving area, just five minutes from the Design District and the Navigli area, the campus of IULM University has become a reference point for modernity and dynamism, as well as one of the best connected universities in the city thanks to the IULM stop of the M2 metro line.

Among the services and facilities available on campus, you can find:

  • a bank Banca Popolare di Sondrio
  • the Libraccio book shop
  • the university library
  • the IULM Store
  • many food spots
  • the gym IULM Fitness Center
  • the Radio IULM
  • the University Theater Center - CUT

Life in Milan

Studying in IULM also means living in one of the most vibrant and multicultural cities in Europe.

With 39 universities scattered throughout the region, Milan has established itself as a city for students. The strong presence of international students combined with the concentration of multinational companies makes it a multicultural center of great interest. Economic and financial capital of Italy, rich in cultural centers, events and shows of international importance, it is also a strategic point from which to visit all major European and world cities.

intensive Italian language course

In order to help the students settle in Milan, IULM organizes an intensive Italian Language Course that takes place in September and January/February before the beginning of each semester.

The course is intended for students having a beginner level (A0/A1) of Italian proficiency. The course requires compulsory attendance (at least 80%) as an essential condition for learning success.

After passing the final exam, students will get 6 credits and a certificate of attendance. This certificate is not eligible to request any Visa for Study and so any Permit of Stay.

The cost of the course is € 200.

Interested students should indicate it in their Application Form while filling out the questionnaire. Payment for the course must be made in accordance with the terms that will be communicated to interested students.

The course is also open to foreign students not enrolled at IULM University with a fee of € 250, but it still is not eligible to apply for any Study Visa and therefore no Residence Permit.

The start and end dates of the course will be communicated via email to participants. The course lasts about 2/3 weeks.

For further information: [email protected].

Accommodation

Starting from A.Y. 2025-2026, incoming students can apply for a place in our university Residence Santander, which consists of 20-m2 double rooms with private bathroom.

All rooms are equipped with 2 single beds, 2 wardrobes, 2 desks, a shelf and satellite TV. On their arrival, students will receive sheets and blankets.
In the common areas of the Residence there are a TV room, a computer room with Internet connection, a coin-operated laundry.

The monthly rent is € 470 per person, to be paid by the 10th of each month, plus a € 500 cautionary deposit to secure the booking. Deposit will be refunded back after departure.

Places are very limited and we usually have a huge number of requests, so getting a room is quite difficult.

  1. Nominated students will receive by email all the instructions to complete the Application Form for their mobility and to apply also for a place in the Residence Santander.
  2. The residence Application Form will be open as follows:
    • 1st / Fall semester = from May 12th to 30th, 2025
    • 2nd / Spring semester = from October 13th to 31st, 2025
  3. Students’ applications will be accepted only if the mobility Application Form will be completed correctly. Residence assignees will receive an email from the Study Abroad Office including payment deadlines to confirm their assigned place.
