Permesso question by morgananne1631

Hi! I'm wondering, how long can someone stay in Italy, legally, after their student permesso expires? I have heard it is two months, but I cannot seem to find any documentation to prove this. Thank you! Morgan

First try immobiliare.it to look at apartments because they have an English version. You can put in your search parameters and cities around Umbria, or other regions, and see what pops up. As far as medical goes, I'm not sure what the ... Read More

Hello. The customs will vary somewhat depending upon which region you choose. I always just suggest that folks new to Italy pay close attention and learn from the locals. Most Italians do not speak English, especially outside of the tourist ... Read More

Hello. Unless you had a serious situation that prohibited you from renewing the Permesso on time, you'll most likely be made to start all over. Read More

Since you have exceeded the time limit of being off of Italian soil, you will need to start from scratch, that will most likely include a valid visa. You will not be able to apply for a Permesso without it. Nonetheless, you can enter Italy with ... Read More

Two important questions that need to be answered are how long have been in Canada and for how long do you intend to remain in Italy? The answers to these questions affect what is required. Non-EU citizens who live legally in Italy can temporarily ... Read More
