SAOS Desk
SAOS is a welcome desk which assists incoming international students and scholars (researchers, visiting professors, experts) in organising and completing the most important procedures related to their legal stay in Italy:
- entry and stay in Italy
residence permit: first application, renewal and transfer/conversion - family reunification
- public health assistance
It also gives general information on public and private services offered by the city and within the University, and keeps in touch with the local Employment Department and the Sportello Unico/UTG Padova, where foreign workers submit all the papers needed for them to settle their working status.
SAOS Desk offers specific support to University Departments willing to host foreign researchers for a working period.
Important notice
FAQs related to Covid-19 are available both for degree-seekers and for incoming students.
