The Kore International Relations Office (KIRO) manages the processes related to the University’s internationalisation.
In particular, the Office provides information and administrative support to students selected within the framework of International Mobility programmes (Erasmus+ study, Erasmus+ Traineeship), deals with the stipulation and renewal of international agreements and conventions for the exchange of teachers, students and technical-administrative staff, or the development of internationalisation projects.
It also welcomes international students and guests.
Non-EU students with residency abroad who wish to enroll in a degree program at the University of Enna Kore must access the UNIVERSITALY portal (https://www.universitaly.it) to fill in the relative “pre-enrolment request” online. The subsequent pre-enrolment phases will be completed at the relevant diplomatic-consular Missions to obtain the relevant visa.
The Italian Ministry of University and Research has published the document “PROCEDURES FOR ENTRY, RESIDENCY AND ENROLMENT AT HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS FOR STUDENTS REQUIRING VISAS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION COURSES IN ITALY, FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2021-2022”, available at https://www.studiare-in-italia.it/studentistranieri/moduli/2022/Circolare_2022_2023.pdf).
Italian Tax Code
The tax code is a personal code which consists of letters and numbers, that uniquely identifies the subjects within the Italian State, in particular regarding tax and administrative matters; it is not an equivalent to an identity document.
We suggest requesting the official tax code at our Embassy in your Country before your arrival in Italy. If you are already in Italy please follow instructions at this page
(create link to: https://www.agenziaentrate.gov.it/portale/web/english/nse/individuals/tax-identification-number-for-foreign-citizens)
Residence Permit
According to Italian Law (D. Lgs. 286/98) non E.U. citizens, planning to stay in Italy longer than 3 months must apply for a Residence permit within 8 working days after arrival. People with dual nationality (Italian or EU/ExtraEU) do not need to apply for the residence permit.
In order to apply for a residence permit you need to complete a “kit” which is available at all the post offices bearing a “Sportello Amico” sign. The kit is an envelope containing the forms and instructions on how to fill them in. At the post office, you will be assigned an appointment at the Immigration Office of the Police Headquarters (Questura) responsible for photo signal operations.
Please consult the following page for more info: http://www.poliziadistato.it/articolo/10716
You may contact the KORE International Relations Office (kiro@unikore.it) if you need assistance for the fulfillment of the residence permit procedure.
Incoming visiting students and free movers
The University of Enna “Kore” (henceforth UKE) encourages international students to spend a period of study as visiting students in Enna (applicants must be enrolled at their home universities at the time of application and during the entire period of stay).
EU citizens and non-EU citizens interested in attending one or more courses at UKE can enroll as free-movers without a previous agreement between the home and the host universities. This mobility is, in fact, not linked to an exchange program organized by UKE, such as Erasmus, and therefore takes place outside the agreements currently in place between UKE and its partners.
EU citizens and non-EU citizens regularly living in Italy (as for the Italian Law 286/1998 art. 39, paragraph 5 and further modifications) interested in “Free Mover” mobility can apply by submitting the application form by the following deadlines:
June 30th for free-movers mobility during the first semester or full academic year November 30th for free-movers mobility during the second semester.
The application form, duly signed by the student and the home University Supervisor, must be sent to kiro@unikore.it
Non-EU citizens living abroad can enroll only through the Universitaly portal selecting “VISITING STUDENTS AND FREE MOVERS”.
Enrolment fees
Once the application has been accepted by UKE, visiting students shall pay the following enrolment fees for every chosen subject:
– EUR 30,00 for every credit of the subject (for example: 6 credits = EUR 180,00).
