While in Italy, you will probably need to deal with
bureaucracy for several reasons.
Should you need professional support, in Trieste you can find
authorised offices called CAF (Centro Assistenza Fiscale -
Centre for Fiscal Assistance) and PATRONATI which can help
you with a number of issues:
Permit of stay:
If you are having problems filling out the application
form for your permit of stay, the Patronato can do it for you
and provide you with all the relevant information about the
documentation you are required to provide.
Moreover, the Patronato can assist you and provide information
when it comes to converting your permit (from one type to another,
for example from a 'study' to a 'working' permit).
If you have been in Italy for more than five years, you can ask for
a permanent residence permit.
Family reunion:
If your family wish to come to Italy to stay with
you, the Patronato can help you with all the relevant
documentation and procedures.
Foreign Pensions:
If you're a professor or a researcher, you probably have
pension contributions you have been paying or paid for you in more
than one country. You can check if you can use them for an Italian
pension.
Tax return:
Non-residents with an income earned in Italy must also
file a tax return form (Dichiarazione dei Redditi). The
tax system is based on self-assessment and the tax office won't
send you a tax return form or chase you to complete one. You must
file a different tax return form according to whether you are
employed or self-employed.
ISEE certificate:
It is a document attesting your economic situation. You
may need it in order to obtain social services (kindergartens, tax
relief for university fees, etc.).
Bonuses:
If you have a low income, you can ask for some specific
social service or benefit.
Company start-up and self-employment:
Our staff will support you in all the procedures required
to open a company or become self-employed.
Domestic help:
The Patronato offers support for drawing up contracts
for domestic help and Allowances of Social Security Welfare.

formalities, please contact Welcome
