-the payment will be instantly received (yellow traffic light), but the registration will depend on
the banking services and when actually registered the traffic light will become green;
-to avoid duplicate payments, the procedure sometimes does not allow multiple payments having
the same: value & name and surname & expire date. To make a second payment is enough to
change one of the fields (just the expire date, which can also be left blank).

Once the payment has been made, it takes a few days before the circle in the payment section
becomes green.
So it's not a problem if the payment is registered in next days, the important thing is that it's
done before the deadline.
The registration of the payment after a few days (even after the expiration date) does not imply the

Problems with payments for the applications

Only in case you can't use SCRIGNO and Pago PA platforms to pay the due fee for
the applications for PhD course, it's possible to enable the payment with international
bank transfer: click on the link “Request authorization for payment with international
bank transfer” in the left column of the “payment details” page:

51
You’ll have to declare that you are not able to pay with PagoPA:

Then you’ll be able to see another icon for the payment:

If you click on that icon you can save a PDF with all the required information
for a “Order for transfer/ SEPA Credit Transfer”.

52
Please note that if you pay with Credit card:
-the payment will be instantly received (yellow traffic light), but the registration will depend on
the banking services and when actually registered the traffic light will become green;
-to avoid duplicate payments, the procedure sometimes does not allow multiple payments having
the same: value & name and surname & expire date. To make a second payment is enough to
change one of the fields (just the expire date, which can also be left blank).

If you pay in Italy with a “printed form”, it could take few days to receive the payment.
The traffic light will be red until the receivement of the payment (green traffic light).

Once the payment has been made, it takes a few days before the circle in the payment section
becomes green.
So it's not a problem if the payment is registered in next days, the important thing is that it's
done before the deadline.
The registration of the payment after a few days (even after the expiration date) does not
imply the cancellation of the application.
Please keep the receipt: candidate will be contacted by the offices in case of problems.
