Frequently asked questions
How much is rent in Rome?+
As a rough 2026 guide, a single room in Rome runs about €450-700/month and a one-bedroom flat about €800-1300/month. Good value: San Giovanni, Pigneto and Marconi; the centre and Trastevere cost more. 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 Rome?+
You register your residence (iscrizione anagrafica) at the Anagrafe of the Comune di Roma, once you have an address and, for non-EU citizens, your permesso di soggiorno. Approdo pre-fills the residenza request from your details.

Do I need a visa and a codice fiscale to move to Rome?+
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 Rome. Approdo builds the right checklist once you enter your nationality.
