As mentioned, there is much you can do before you arrive. Your sponsor or Area Orientation Coordinators should have directed you to the Pre-Arrival Packet below.
In there, along with the forms that you will use at Area Orientation, are some of the things you can work on before even getting to Naples. These things include:
- PETS: Getting your pet(s) registered. See section below for details
- PO BOX: Obtain your PO Box before you arrive. This will be needed to obtain a “codice fiscal”, which is required while you live in Italy
- CHILD CARE: If you know you will need child care, see section below for details
- SCHOOL: If you have children to enroll in school, whether on/off base, connect with the School Liaison Office, who can work with you on any forms needed. See detailed section below.
- HOUSING: Depending on whether you plan to live on or off base, get started now in finding your new home in Italy! See this website for more details: https://ffr.cnic.navy.mil/Navy-Housing/Housing-By-Region/Europe-Africa-Central/NSA-Naples/
- BANKING NEEDS: Start now on establishing an account, which will allow you to have access to funds for housing deposits, etc. In order to proceed with a move to housing on the economy move, it is suggested that the newcomer be prepared to provide a cash deposit for their rental agreement.
- OMBUDSMAN: Living overseas can be challenging for all, including family members. Make sure you are connected with your ombudsman before arrival, which will help you ask questions now that will help your transition process. See details below.
