*The financial situation of foreign students with family living abroad without income and assets in Italy is assessed according to the ISEE (the reported equivalent financial situation indicator abroad), on income earned in 2025 and the value of movable and immovable assets owned as at 31st December 2025 by the student’s family.

ASSESSMENT OF STATUS RELATING TO INCOME AND ASSETS OF FOREIGN STUDENTS WITH THEIR FAMILY RESIDING ABROAD

NABA DSU Office will determine the equivalent ISEE for foreign students having family residing abroad without income and assets in Italy. No other ISEE indices calculated by other institutions will be accepted.

In order to do that, students must produce all the following documents:

  • Document certifying the updated composition of the family abroad dated 2027.
  • Income in the calendar year 2025 of each member of the family (the document must clearly state that the incomes relate to the calendar year 2025). Salary slips are not required: the total income must be certified by the competent authorities in the Country (Ministry of Finance or another institution such as the Tax Administration Office).
    If, during 2025, one or more family members aged 18 or over did not earn any income, they are nevertheless required to submit a declaration to that effect.
  • Buildings owned by the family as at 31.12.2025 (the document must be issued by a public authority that can provide the situation at the national level), with an indication of square meters. If in 2025 there were no buildings, a certificate must be submitted certifying the absence of ownership of buildings for each member aged 18 or over.
  • For properties in Bulgaria: since the documentation is issued by the Province Land Registry and not by the National one, documentation issued by IKAR concerning the history of movements at national level up to December 2025 must additionally be submitted for each person of the family nucleus aged over 18.
  • Certification of non-property assets owned as at 31.12.2025 by the family:
    • balance of bank and/or deposit accounts;
    • account balance of shares, dividends, shareholdings, capitalization policies and any other type of financial investment.

These documents must be, according to the Regulations:

  • Issued by the competent authorities of the Country in which the income was produced;
  • Translated into Italian conforming to the foreign text and certified by the competent diplomatic or consular representation, or by an official translator;
  • Legalized by the Italian diplomatic or consular representations abroad, with the only exception of documents relating to movable assets owned. The documents’ legalization happens in different ways, according to the country of origin (annex A).

Foreign students are nevertheless required to declare the presence of any income and assets held in Italy by their family.

Self-certifications are not in line with the DSU Regulations and therefore are not accepted.
