Ciao
I am a non EU Citizen and I come from India. I have a question for my friend (Indian and studying in milan) in a situation where she recently submitted her request for renewing her permesso di soggiorno. She got the receipt stating the date of appointment. But she wants to travel in Italy and to other schengen countries. I wanted to ask if she can travel with the receipt before she gets her new permesso di soggiorno card ?
Thank you in advance

As long as you have the recpt you can travel with your older Permesso. The older Permesso can be used to travel for a period of up to 3 months. This is what I was told at the Carabinieri where i collected mine from.
