Tessera Sanitaria [ Health Card ]

This is the health card issued by Italy and it's valid in all Schengen countries for first medical emergency. Everyone can choose their own personal doctor and subscribe to get this card. Thanks to the electronic service of Torino, it's very easy to receive this service. You need to follow the instructions in the following page: www.asl102.to.it/progetto.htm Attach the required documents and sent an email to the address given in the webpage. You should receive the card to your resident address. Please note that  you shall be required to register as the resident in the city of Torino. Otherwise they will not be able to sent the document to your address. The other way around is to visit the asl-torino offices directly [usually a time consuming process]

Renewing / Converting your Student residence permit to Work permit

Hello everyone, During your first entry to Italy, generally your university should help you in the process of residence permit application. I've written more detailed information in my previous post. If you have not read, please visit the page: http://italystudyvisa.blogspot.it/p/extra-info.html. In this post, I'm here to give further information about the specialized social service associations operating in Italy to help immigrants in the process of applying / renewal / converting residence permit. They are called as " Patronato".  They offer various services from pension to process work related documents. In my experience, my first employer helped me in converting my student permit to work permit, eventually once my residence permit was expired I've to renew it. Being in Italy, there are usually many different ways to do the same process (just for fun). Most general information / documents related to residence permit is available in https://www.portalei
