Hii all!

I'm a from India. i was studying in Italy. i'm having having long term student Italian resident permit for 1 year and i was doing renewal every year.

I'm having a some doubts regarding permesso di soggiorno kindly please guide me.

1) Maximum how many months can i stay in India. If i stayed more than 6 months in a year in India will it effect my Italian resident permit.
2) I was thinking to come to Italy for every 5 months in order to attend my exams in Italian university. Is this possible?.

Thank you!
Shekar Polla

Hi All 

I'm Lee, I currently live in London, originally from Cardiff, U.K, my fiancé is Italian and from Milan and is urgently wanting to move back to Milan. My Italian skills are very basic I find it easier to listen to and understand as opposed to being confident in talking Italian. I am desperately trying to explore all avenues to support my fiancé's wishes to return to Milan but can obviously at present apply/accept English Speaking Jobs. I've worked in Retail for the past 13 years and in Retail Management for the past 6 years. I work within the premium skincare/makeup industry as a training manager, but would be very happy to consider the field of work if my skills fit to be able to facilitate a speedy move. Any advice or recommendations would be massively appreciated.

Thank you.

I'm a travel designer/planner for inbound Puglia region. I'll be self-employed soon and hopefully starting up online tour operator next year.

Would love to connect if we are nearby. I am relocating to turin.

Hi vlucagen1 san, Konnichiwa!

Thank you for your message! I live in Puglia, the heel of Italian boot, southern part of Italy, next to Adriatic sea So Torino is completely opposite side unfortunately! There are many Japanese as well as other asians (many from South-East/central) there, so I believe you won't feel home-sick much there!
