r/permessodisoggiorno

Hi everyone,
I am an Indian national currently in Italy on a Research Type D visa. I arrived in Italy in April for my research position, and my visa is still valid.
I need to travel to London, UK for my graduation, but my permesso di soggiorno card has not arrived yet. I am in the process of applying/receiving it, but I do not physically have the card yet.
My question is: can I leave Italy, travel to the UK, and then re-enter Italy using my valid Research D visa while I am still waiting for my permesso di soggiorno?
Would it be okay if I carry my passport, valid Italian D visa, permesso application receipt/ricevuta if available, and my research/hosting agreement documents?
Also, should I avoid Schengen layovers and take a direct flight back to Italy from the UK?
Any advice from people who have travelled in a similar situation would be really helpful.
Thank you!

Hey, I have applied for permesso di soggirno at questura di immigrazzione at milano for familiari motivi since my wife is italian citizen. Its been almost 7 months. and theres no update. I keep checking the tracking online. I have submitted my docs and fingerprints at the same day. for some reason, I havent got the codice fiscale. agenzia della entrate has refused to give me that, suggesting I have to wait for the pds.

I have sent several pec emails through a lawyer. but there hasnt been a single response. Its been really frustrating since all my life is stuck. not being able to do anything at all.

Can anyone suggest me what can I do next legally to speed up the process ?

BACKGROUND: Colombian descendants blocked by the Bogotá consular system. First instance (Genoa) recognized them as citizens. Court of Appeal declared case inadmissible for lack of prior administrative application. Cassazione overturns, remands, and establishes binding legal principle.

BINDING PRINCIPLE (official Italian text):

""In tema di azione di accertamento dello status di cittadino italiano, sussiste l'interesse ad agire non solo in caso di diniego o di ritardo nel riconoscimento di tale status, ma anche nell'ipotesi in cui si verifichino impedimenti, difficoltà o lungaggini che non consentono neppure la presentazione della relativa richiesta all'Amministrazione a ciò deputata.""

PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS:

— Ministry's argument ""no administrative application = no standing"": INVALIDATED when there's documented evidence of failed attempts

— Screenshots with no appointments available + access logs + unanswered emails = sufficient to establish standing

— No formally submitted application required

ADDITIONAL LEGAL NOTE: The Cassazione reaffirms iure sanguinis recognition as a DECLARATORY act (right exists from birth). Direct tension with the CONSTITUTIVE logic of ruling 63/2026.

LIMITATIONS:

— Does not address Law 74/2025

— Does not modify generational analysis

— Applies to those with documentation of attempts BEFORE 03/27/2025

— Not a merits ruling: case returns to Genoa Court of Appeal for substantive judgment

— Post-decree with documentation: the principle has no temporal limitation on the procedural level — those who document systematic failed consular attempts after 03/27/2025 can also invoke standing. But the merits (whether the right exists under Law 74/2025) remain open until June 2026. Possible scenario, not a guarantee.

Happy to analyze specific situations.

Has anyone applied for a permesso in one city, moved to another, and transferred their request there?

I'm trying to do so now, but of course every official tells me something different. Possibly it's better just to wait for the permesso to be issued - it's been 9 months.

Heya
I'm a student who was attending University in Milan for the spring semester and it is approaching time for me to leave. The thing is, I have never had the time to turn in my permesso (way too busy with classes, health issues, mental health issues, etc.). I was wondering, since I am leaving Italy with no intent to return but have a layover in Germany on my return back to America, do I need to just bite the bullet and skip a class to turn in my permesso or will I be fine leaving without my permesso?

I've been checking the status of my PdS application since my appointment and was so surprised when it suddenly said it was ready less than a month after! I expected at least two months from what I've read from other's experiences.

I've already picked it up and everything is a-ok! No typos or whatever, which I was worried about. Yet after all this, I'm still not done haha. Now, to go to the anagrafe to register my residency... 🏃🏻‍♀️

Decreto Flussi - Il mio CAF ha presentato la domanda nel click day per lavoro non stagionale del 16 febbraio a Milano. Quando posso aspettarmi il rilascio del nulla osta?

Grazie

I am Muslim and gay, and in my country I cannot live freely. I come from a non-EU country, but fortunately I can travel to Italy without a visa. I have visited Italy many times, and every time I felt at peace there. I would love to move there and spend the rest of my life living freely and being myself. I would be willing to do any kind of work for that opportunity.

Is there any realistic way for someone like me to make this happen legally? Any advice or personal experiences would mean a lot to me.

My girlfriend lives in Italy, and we're currently toying with the idea of me moving over there on a student Visa to study Italian. My biggest concern is getting employed after I'm done studying. I'm not a "highly skilled" worker, but my hope would be to potentially get an entry level IT support role or something similar. How difficult is it to find an employer willing to sponsor a Visa?

I've lived in the Philadelphia consulate's jurisdiction for six years — driver's license, tax records, the whole paper trail. I've been in NC for graduate school, but my lease there expires May 27, and by August (when I need to apply for my Italian work visa) I'll be staying with friends and family in Michigan.

My instinct is that I have the strongest case to apply through the Italian Consulate in Philadelphia, given my long-established ties there — even though I won't technically have a current lease in that jurisdiction at the time of application.

My worry is that without an active NC address, the Philadelphia consulate won't accept my application — but I also have no Michigan license, lease, or documentation to apply through Detroit.

Has anyone successfully applied through a consulate based on historical ties (license, taxes, prior residence) rather than a current lease? Did the consulate push back, or was the documentation enough? Should I just use the Philly consulate and use the address of a friend in NC on the visa application form? Any advice appreciated! 🙏

I will be working for a university in Milan as a post-doc. I am from the US. The university will apply for my nulla osta in late May. Is it likely that I will have it by late August?
