Moving to Salerno
Quick answer
Moving to Salerno means the same Italian bureaucracy as anywhere in the country — a permesso di soggiorno for non-EU citizens, a codice fiscale, and residenza registered at the Comune di Salerno. Rent runs roughly €250-400/month for a room and €450-700 for a one-bedroom flat. Approdo builds your Salerno checklist and pre-fills the forms.
The gateway to the Amalfi Coast is a liveable, walkable southern city with far lower rents than Naples' centre. Wherever you land in Italy the bureaucracy is the same — permesso di soggiorno, codice fiscale, residenza at the Comune di Salerno — but the costs and neighborhoods are local. Approdo builds your exact checklist for Salerno and pre-fills the forms.
