Where do I register my residenza in Bari?+

Do I need a visa and a codice fiscale to move to Bari?+
Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality, not the city: EU citizens don't, non-EU citizens need a national visa before arriving and a permesso di soggiorno within 8 working days. Everyone needs a codice fiscale to rent, bank or get healthcare in Bari. Approdo builds the right checklist once you enter your nationality.
