On the occasion, each student must demonstrate to have the necessary financial resources to support herself/himself, a certificate of enrollement issued by an Italian H.Ed. institution, as well as to meet all the other requirements needed for the issuing of the stay permit.Both study visa and stay permits are renewed to the students who have passed one exam in the first year of their degree programmes, and two exams at least in the following years for the earning of such a credit number as determined by the institutions.
The stay permit may be renewed also to a student who has passed only one exam against documentary evidence of a state of very poor health or of other serious reasons. All that without prejudice of the dispositions concerning the global number of possible renewals; in fact, stay permits cannot be issued for more than 3 years beyond the legal length of the degree course concerned (Art. 46, § 4 of the Presidential Decree No. 394 of 31st August 1999).
European Health insurance card
The new European Health Insurance Card, which is meant to replace
such old paper forms as the E111 (for short stays) and E128 (for study
periods), will grant all Eu and Eu-equated citizens access to immediate
medical care, when necessary, under the same conditions as the nationals
of the host country.
Before departure for Italy, you should request the Health Insurance Card from your local health authorities.
The European Health Insurance Card is being introduced gradually in the different Eu member states; so you may found out that the health authorities of your home country still issue an E128 under the previous medical care scheme; it will be accepted all the same.

Helping Information For Bangladeshi student in Italy
Living in Italy
In this section of the website information is available to help you organise your life in Italy. You will find details on such basic needs as accommodation, sanitary assistance, safety, etc., as well as on other topics for the profitable management of your leisure time (e.g. public means of transportation for travelling within the Italian territory).In the page entitled "Travelling in Italy" a description of the various Italian regions is available; this is a useful tool meant for your guidance when choosing a university site in Italy as well as when planning how to spend your leisure time. It is worthwhile to better know the country: Italy is not large but very rich in art treasures and beautiful landscapes. Even by very short travels, you may enjoy the opportunity to visit new interesting places.
Housing
Universities have a housing office or officer managing university accommodation, and can also provide information on renting student apartments, which are generally cheaper than the cost of accommodation on the private market.
Most universities in Italy do not have halls of residence.
Renting an apartment in cities and large towns will be more expensive and can range from 300 euros to 1000 euros a month, depending on the size and the area where you choose to stay.
Student accommodation will give you the option to rent a room rather than the whole apartment.
If you wish to make your own arrangements, housing for rent appears in local newspapers or you can go to a real estate agency.
These can be very helpful but they will charge a fee for finding the accommodation.
The minimum rent period is usually one year but furnished rooms in university towns are available for shorter periods.
Getting around
Public transport is usually cheap and efficient and is probably the best way to visit Italian cities, since parking, petrol and motorway tolls are quite expensive in Italy.Generally speaking, it is usually more expensive to buy a single ticket, so it is worth your while finding out about the cost of weekly or monthly tickets for transport in your town.
Be aware that bus tickets are not sold on board and need to be purchased beforehand, usually at tobacconist's and newsstands.
All tickets must be stamped before boarding trains and underground trains or on board buses.
Bus:
All the major cities have extensive bus and tram networks but these can inevitably be slow during peak traffic hours when the towns become very congested.Underground:
Rome, Naples and Milan have an underground network known as the Metropolitana. Rome has two lines and Milan has three lines. Naples has it also has funiculars and a commuter line.The Metropolitana and the three Funicolari are a much faster form of travel especially at the busy times of the day.
Taxis:
Are widespread, especially in the large cities, and can be recognised by the neon sign on top.Taxis are usually white or yellow. Fares are quite high and there are additional charges for luggage, pets, at night-time, and on public holidays.
Official taxis have taximeters which display the fare to be paid and will issue a receipt if required.
Tipping is not necessary but most people round up a euro or two.
Very few taxis accept credit cards in Italy.
Be aware of unofficial taxis that are often parked near airports and train stations.
Bicycles
Most Italian cities and towns have very intense traffic during working hours and bicycle lanes are practically non existent but buying a bicycle (new or second hand) is an option worth considering in smaller towns.Italians do not cycle a lot in the large towns but cycling is nevertheless a major Italian sport and you will see many cyclists out on the roads enjoying the countryside at the weekends.

Why Italy?
Italy has played an important role in European higher education: it is one of the four countries that first engaged to create the so-called "European Area of Higher Education" (Sorbonne Declaration, May 1998), thus starting that type of higher education reform which, known as "Bologna Process" (Bologna Declaration, June 1999) is being implemented all over Europe.Today Italy ranks among the 8 most industrialised countries in the world. Alongside some big companies, both state-owned and private, it has developed a sound network of small and medium-sized undertakings, promoted a few scientific parks, and is incentivating basic and applied research in a great variety of fields (biology, ICT, medicine, physics, etc.).
