Frequently asked questions
How much is rent in Naples?+
As a rough 2026 guide, a single room in Naples runs about €300-450/month and a one-bedroom flat about €500-800/month. Vomero and the historic centre cost more; outer neighborhoods are cheaper. Always check current listings on Idealista or Immobiliare.it, and budget roughly €650-950/month on top for other living costs.
Where do I register my residenza in Naples?+
You register your residence (iscrizione anagrafica) at the Anagrafe of the Comune di Napoli, once you have an address and, for non-EU citizens, your permesso di soggiorno. Approdo pre-fills the residenza request from your details.
What is Naples like to live in?+
Southern Italy's vibrant heart offers much lower costs than the north, extraordinary food, and a fast-growing community of foreign residents. Vomero and the historic centre cost more; outer neighborhoods are cheaper.
Do I need a visa and a codice fiscale to move to Naples?+
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 Naples. Approdo builds the right checklist once you enter your nationality.
