Permesso
di Soggiorno Permit to Stay
You
need this if you are a foreign national and reside in Italy for more
than 8 days, regardless of whether you work, study or are travelling.
This is one reason why you submit your passport to reception when you
check into a hotel.
The
post office is where you now begin the application for both the
Permesso di Soggiorno and the Carta di Soggiorno.
What
you need to do:
Pick
up the application kit from the Post Office you have to
specify an EU or non-EU.
Fill
out the two forms. (Do not sign or date the application until you are
ready to send it off)
Purchase
a bollo
for 14,62 from a Tabbacchaio and a permesso
for
27.50 from the Post Office.
Take
your completed kit to the main Post Office on Via Pellicceria 3, (pza
della Repubblica) this is the most efficient one and they are
best equipped with staff to take you through the form.
Hold
on to all of the receipts that you are given when you submit your
kit. They are vital for proving that your Permesso is being
processed.
You
will be given a User ID to check the status of your kit at this
website.
Next
you should receive a letter
inviting you to the Questura to submit photographs and fingerprints.
Once you have done this, you will return again to pick up your
digital card.
Job
done.
It
is obviously highly unlikely that your application process will be as
simple as the steps stated above. When things go wrong you can try
calling this free-phone number: 848.855.888

. However, the best way to get these things done in Italy is to know
someone. Ask your Italian friends for advice and you might get lucky
and discover that someone's cousin works at the post office this
really is the way to make things run smoothly if you are a foreigner
in Italy. Purtroppo, ι cosi.
