Application must be filed within 8 working days from the date of entry to Italy. Those who enter Italy due to short-term stays and stay for less than 90 days do not need to apply for a residence permit visa, whether they enter Italy with a Schengen visa or do not need to enter It

What is residence? A residence permit is the only document that allows foreigners to stay legally in Italy for a long time. Application must be filed within 8 working days from the date of entry to Italy. This is very familiar to foreigners in Italy.

1. So who needs to apply for residence?

1. Those who enter Italy due to short-term stays (such as travel, business, etc.) and whose stay time is less than 90 days, no matter whether you enter Italy with an Schengen visa or you do not need to enter Italy, you do not need to apply for a residence permit visa.

2. The situation of non-European citizens entering Italy with a national visa (i.e., long-term visa) varies. In fact, a national visa only represents authorization to enter Italy. Upon arrival in Italy, you will need to apply for a residence permit, the only document that allows you to legally reside in Italy.

3. On the other hand, EU citizens do not have to apply for a residence permit. If they intend to stay for more than three months, they must register at the registry office of the town hall where they reside after three months of entry; no formalities are required for stays less than three months.

4. Non-EU family members of EU citizens must apply for a residence card by submitting a residence card to the police station of the province where they live.

2. While waiting for the first issuance or in the process of strict residence

If the application for residence is compliant, as long as you press the fingerprints and submit the information within the specified time, you can take residence within about 45 working days.

Before you get your residence, the residence slip is a document that ensures that you live in Italy legally. While waiting for the issuance of residence, you can legally live in Italy.

If you are getting a work visa, you can work while waiting for the issuance of your residence. Work is also allowed in the work of strict residence.

3. The term of residence permit

Generally, residence related to study courses and training is updated year by year. For work and family residence, it is generally updated every 2 years.

4. Where to submit your residence application?

Generally, you go to the post office to get a kit (that is, the mail-in envelope with a form for applying for residence), fill out the form for applying for residence, then put all the copies of the materials you need to submit into this envelope, and then go to the tobacco store to buy a 6-euro stamp duty ticket and paste it on the form (I don’t know where it is posted, so I will get it to the post office and ask the staff to post it). Finally, you can mail it to the post office. The post office staff will check these materials and make an appointment for the time to press the handprint. (If you can't fill in the form, you can go to Patronati to fill it out, so you don't have to go to the post office to get a kit, they have a kit there.) Usually, when mailing, the post office will give you a mail receipt and a receipt for handprinting on your appointment, which is the residence slip. Remember to press the handprints on time according to the appointment time, otherwise it will be troublesome to miss the time and re-book the appointment again. I have to prepare the materials again. I have done it once. I remembered the time wrong. Later, when I pressed the handprint, I had thrown away your materials long ago. You have to prepare the materials you applied for again. Fortunately, I brought them all that time.

5. How to check the status of the residence application

To check the processing status of the application at the post office, you can visit the website: www.portaleimmigrazione.it, and log in to query with the user name and password on the residence bar. Generally, some notifications will also be displayed here.

On the website: http://questure.poliziadistato.it/stranieri/?mime=1&lang=IT", you can check whether you can get your residence.

6. Residence extension

If you want to stay strictly, the procedures for handling are the same as the first time you handle. If your requirements do not meet the requirements for issuing your residence, you may be rejected. However, considering that you have family relationships in Italy, you can also submit your application for re-adding materials. If you are involved in danger, you may be criminally liable.
