free.
To be entitled to SSN you have to pay an annual fee that amounts to 149,77 Euros. The payment can be

person concerned is normally or was previously insured.

person concerned is normally or was previously insured. E 109 can be issued by your local
insurance institution only if you are dependant on your family’s financial support.

benefit from the SSN services but only that the insurance company will cover your medical fees.

Company, it must be in English or translated in Italian and legalized by the Italian Embassy, Consulate.

ACCOMMODATION
If you are a PhD student coming from abroad and you need assistance in finding an accommodation in our
city during your program, the PhD Office in collaboration with the International Students Union (ISU) will
help you to find an adequate solution.
For this purpose before you leave your country please contact Dr. Igor Fracaro of ISU, who will support you
in your research. You can contact him using the following e-mail address: [email protected],
forwarding the same e-mail to [email protected]
Please remember that rents vary depending on the location of the flat and the kind of room you choose to live
in (single room or sharing room) and private accommodation is not guaranteed: finding a private flat
depends on places available at the moment of your request. In any case International students Union will
provide every student with necessary information on private accommodation options and support in law
matters.
As a general rule, the lease must be registered by the landlord, and you will be asked to pay half of the
registration charges that amount to 2% of the total amount of the rent.
You will probably be asked to pay in advance also a two-month security deposit (in Italian “Deposito”) to
cover possible damages.
Living in Verona will cost approximately 900,00 Euro per month. With this amount you will cover all basic
living costs (accommodation, food, books, public transport).
As a general rule, the lease must be registered by the landlord, and you will be asked to pay half of the
registration charges that amount to 2% of the total amount of the rent.
You will probably be asked to pay in advance also a two-month security deposit that corresponds to 500,00
Euro (in Italian “Deposito”) to cover possible damages.
Please consider that, for the first month of your stay in Verona you will need about 1.000,00 Euro to cover
expenses related to the rent of your flat (500,00 for a two-month security deposit + monthly rate).
For that reason doctoral students have to be in possession of own financial resources in order to be
able to cover any type of expenditure connected with their stay in Verona during their PhD Program.
You can refer to the International Students Union even if you need only a temporary accommodation for first
few days after your arrival in Verona. If you wish to search for accommodation autonomously you can:
Look at rent ads that are published on local papers (i.e. for the city of Verona L’Arena (only on Wednesdays) and on
classified magazines (i.e. Corriere Casa - Verona)
- Go to a real estate agency. Please note that real estate agencies charge a fee for their service.

If you go to the casualty ward (Pronto Soccorso) you will be asked whether you are in pain and its severity:
on the basis of your answer you will be given a colour code (white, yellow, green, red, according to the
seriousness of your problem). Treatment will be according to this order, not according to the time of your
arrival. If you have a white code (no pain), you may have to wait for some hours before seeing a doctor. If
you present your Italian Health Insurance Card - Tessera Sanitaria (the receipt of payment is not enough)
all examinations and hospitalisation, if needed, will be free.
2) For emergency medical treatment in the evening, you can go to the "Guardia Medica" (emergency doctor

free. Always take your stay permit with you and your Italian Health Insurance Card - Tessera Sanitaria.
3) For "normal", "general" medical treatment (for flu, a cold, etc.), go to your “MEDICO DI BASE” or
“MEDICO DI FAMIGLIA" (general practitioner or family doctor) and the visit will be free. Home visits are also
free.
4) For specialist treatment (gynaecological, dentistry, etc.) you should go to your "Medico di Base" first. He

PHARMACIES
Pharmacies can be recognized by a sigh with a red or green cross outside the shop. Most pharmacies keep
normal shop hours, but some are open 24 hours a day. A rotation system is used for night service and
holidays.
A closed pharmacy usually displays in its window a list of the nearest open pharmacies in the area.
