Residence Permit

A residence permit allows non-EU citizens to legally stay in Italy for a defined period.It is the document that allows, depending on the case, access to employment, education, healthcare, and family reunification.

We assist with issuance, renewal, conversion, and handling delays or denials.

Types of residence permits

The main types include:

• Employment (subordinate or self-employment)
• Family reasons
• Study or training
• Job-seeking
• EU long-term residents

How to apply for a residence permit

The application can be initiated through:

• Italian Post Office (postal kit)
• Police Headquarters (Questura)
• Immigration Desk (Sportello Unico)

Our assistance reduces the risk of formal errors, delays, and rejections through organized management of the procedure.

Required Documents

The required documentation varies depending on the type, but generally includes:

• Valid passport.
• Completed application forms.
• Passport-size photographs.
• Document justifying the stay (employment contract, course enrollment, family reasons).
• Documentation regarding income and accommodation, when required.

Application review and verification

After submission, you can check the status of your residence permit application through the Immigration Portal or Questura. Keep the application number shown on the receipt to monitor progress. We also support you in interpreting updates and managing anomalies.

Renewal and conversion

Renewal must be requested within the prescribed deadlines, generally within 60 days of expiration. When possible, we also manage conversions (for example, from study to employment), first assessing feasibility and then following the procedure.

EU residence permit for long-term residents

The EU residence permit for long-term residents can be requested after five years of continuous and legal residence in Italy. We help you verify the requirements and submit the application correctly.

Collection, common issues, and protection

Once the application is approved, collection takes place at the competent Questura. In case of denial, delay, or error, we intervene with requests, follow-ups, and, when necessary, administrative or judicial appeals. We also evaluate regularization pathways in cases provided by law.
