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).
