• ✅ Flight and Travel Readiness
  We walk you through the check-in process, immigration procedures, baggage rules, and airport protocols—especially helpful for first-time international travellers.
• ✅ Cultural Orientation
  An introduction to Italian culture, academic etiquette, transportation systems, and basic local language phrases to help you adjust smoothly upon arrival.
• ✅ Money & Banking Advice
  Guidance on how to carry foreign currency, open a bank account in Italy, and use international debit cards or Forex cards.
• ✅ Emergency Contacts & Communication Setup
  We provide you with key emergency contacts, embassy details, and help you plan for mobile network or SIM card arrangements upon arrival.
