QUESTURA
WITHIN EIGHT DAYS OF YOUR ARRIVAL YOU MUST REPORT TO YOUR LOCAL QUESTURA! If you live in the province of Perugia, you must go to Perugia. If you live in the province of Terni, you must go to Terni.
Normally certain days are for applying and certain days are for picking up. It has been our experience that people pick up their Permessos every day without a problem, but you can only apply on the designated days.
QUESTURA DI TERNI: VIA ANTIOCHIA R, 12 Terni
You can call the Terni questura on MONDAY-WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY from 12-2 at 074 448 0671 http://questure.poliziadistato.it/Terni.nsf
They use the number system but it is usually possible to take care of business after all the numbers have been called. An English speaking person called us to ask if we would like to MAKE AN APPOINTMENT for our first year renewal!
For our elective residency visa this is what we needed:
- passport
- visa
- proof of income (and savings)
- proof of medical insurance
- proof of housing (rental agreement or deed)
- Codice fiscale
Make sure you have (multiple) copies of everything.
You will also need:
- a marca da bollo (tax stamp)
- four "Official" size pictures (they have a booth at the questura)
They also have an office in Orvieto, but I don't know anything about it right now.
Once you have applied for your P di S you'll be handed a receipt�DO NOT LOSE THIS! Until you receive the sealed one, this counts as your Permesso. There should be a date listed on this receipt telling you when to come back to pick up the Permesso.
We were also given a separate appointment to be fingerprinted.
When you go back to pick up your Permesso you don't really have to wait in line just work your way up and ask if it's ready.
After you receive your Permesso you can go to your local commune where they will issue you a certificate of residency and a Carte D'identita. There was a small fee for the residency document (about 37 euros) and you'll need more "official" photos and a bollo for your Carta D'dentita.
Your initial Permesso is good for one year. You must return to the questura to renew it about one month before your current one expires. Take everything as listed above, including a copy of EVERY page of your passport. The next Permesso will be good for TWO years, then five years, then ten.

HEALTH CARE
USL office in Marsciano, Piazza Karl Marx, right next to the Cento Commericale (with the Coop) 075 5411
To join the Italian healthcare system we went to the local USL office in Marsciano. We had to present our codice fiscale, our certificate of residency, and (because we are retired and earn no money in Italy) our last tax return.
The payment is based upon income: 6.5 % of your total income for our area. This may vary from place to place. This fee covers you for the entire (calendar) year: if you join in November you pay the same as if you join in January.
We had to take our paperwork to the Post Office to pay, then returned to the USL office to hand in our receipt. We were then issued our medical card, which we have to show when we visit the doctor or get a prescription.
We had to select a family doctor, so if possible get a recommendation from a local before you go.
Different doctors come to different cities at different times and days. Be sure to check in advance.
Some services may require an additional payment, but you must always see you family doctor to get a prescription or an order to see a specialist.
