Permit of Stay - renewal

In this area you can find some basic information to help you with your Permit of Stay renewal (non-EU students).

The Permit of Stay generally lasts one year and must be renewed at least 60 days before it expires.
HOW TO RENEW YOUR PERMIT OF STAY

Non-EU students waiting for renewal of their permit to stay can require a temporary permit to stay (“permesso di soggiorno provvisorio” ) on condition that they have a valid reason for leaving (e.g. participation at conventions, conferences, summer schools, etc.) and that they come back to Italy before the issue of their permit to stay.

The temporary permit has a maximum duration of 90 days.

PhD students have to go to the police station at least 10 days before the leaving with the following original documents and their copies:

• receipt issued by Italian Post offices certifying the submission of the application for renewal of permit to stay;
• expired permit to stay;
• 4 passport-sized photo;
• passport;
• letter (in Italian) specifying the reasons for requesting the temporary permit issued by the PhD Administrative Assistant and signed by the PhD Director and by the Head of the PhD Administrative Center (PhD-AC).
