Time gap between visa expiry and getting Permesso

Hey

Normally you can apply for renewal after expired also but within 60 days.

you can travel in hand with recievuta to India with  direct flights
  ( example Milan to Delhi or Rome to Mumbai vice versa).

But I know some people travelled with recievuta  layover on Germany and France.

Recievuta- receipt of applied student soggiorno.


Hope this helpful.

Thank you so much for the info.

So, does that mean that within the 60 day period, wherein you apply for the renewal of visa, you are legally allowed to be in Europe?

Yes you are , within 60 days of the expiry date you have the right to send the document for the renual , my finance was in this situation and when the police asked for the documents at a train station she showed the police the expired permesso di soggiorno and he said its ok you still have time. I have been told though that if your counrty doesnt have visa free travel for tourism purposes you cant leave the country because you might be denied re-entry , and i really think its not worth the risk.

Thank you for the info!

Hi Vandini

You will be handed a recipt(ricevuto in Italian), which is a valid proof that you have applied for the permesso, you could also write an email to the Indian embassy closest to if they could help you in this situations.

Dear All, 

I have received a ricevuta de invio 15 years back and never went to Italy and used it. is there any chance to renew it or re initiated as the person who applied for it on my behalf send it to me only few years later. 

Many thanks 

I am student in italy, i started the renewal process in second year in  julay 2022 , so, i want to know that my soggiorno will expire in julay 2023 or not. What the valid time of soggiorno depends on?
