Application and issuance of a residence permit

Application and Issuance of your residence permit. First of all, what is a residence permit? The residence permit allows foreigners and stateless persons present in the territory of the State to reside in Italy. Those who arrive in Italy for the first time have 8 working days from their entry into the territory of the State to apply for a residence permit.

To obtain a residence permit, it is necessary to submit:

✓ the application form;

✓ a valid passport, or other equivalent travel document*, with the relevant entry visa, if required;

✓ a photocopy of the document itself;

✓ 4 passport-size photos, identical and recent;

✓ the necessary documentation for the type of residence permit requested

✓ the payment of a contribution as specified below.

A foreigner who shows a receipt certifying the submission of the application for the first issue for reasons of subordinate work, self-employment or family reunification has the same rights as the possession of a residence permit. While waiting for the first residence permit to be issued for work, the foreigner may temporarily carry out work until the Public Security Authority notifies him of the existence of reasons preventing the issuance of such a permit. The notice must be served not only on the person concerned, but also on the employer.

Residence permit: how do I apply for it?

In order to apply for a residence permit, foreign citizens must apply to the Police Headquarters of the province in which the citizen wishes to stay, according to
Article 5, paragraph 2 of Bill 286/98
and subsequent amendments to
the Consolidated Law on Immigration
.

A residence permit must be applied for within 8 working days of entry, otherwise the request will be refused and the foreign citizen will be expelled, unless the delay is due to him, or force majeure.

The request will be submitted to the Police Headquarters of the province where the citizen wants to stay through the “Sportello Amico” of the authorized Post Offices.

With regard to the Residence Permit required for subordinate work, a completed form must be submitted to the Immigration Desk of the UTG Prefecture. Also in this case, the deadline of 8 days from entry applies.

The residence permit required for self-employment or subordinate work can ONLY be used for the provision of the reported service, a work activity for which the authorization has been granted.

Intra-company secondment: what does it mean?

Let’s shed some light on the meaning of intra-company secondment.

Intra-company posting is defined as “temporary posting of a foreign worker by a company established in a third country to the host entity”.

The employment relationship between the worker to be transferred and the posting company located outside the European Union must be governed by the employment contract that has been active for at least three months without interruption immediately before the date of transfer.

InfoVisti will deal with the implementation for the entry and residence of third-country nationals who move for subordinate work, as skilled workers or in training, or managers in the context of intra-corporate transfers both outside the EU and from another Member State.

The posted worker must be hosted either by a host entity established in Italy belonging to the company or to the same group of companies.

InfoVisti will take care of obtaining all the documents necessary for the performance of the service and all the preventive and consulting information to allow you to deal with the intra-company secondment with simplicity, punctuality and efficiency.

Intra-company secondment: what are the obligations of the posting company?

The foreign company that requests the posting of its employees or self-employed personnel is obliged to give prior notice of the posting to the Ministry of Labour and Social Policies within one day before the transfer, delivering the following information:

– Data of the foreign company requesting the posting

– Number of self-employed or paid persons who need to be posted

– Total time frame of the posting, start and end date.

– Address of the place where self-employed or employed persons will work.

– Data of the subjects to be seconded.

– Type of services provided by workers.

– Data of the contact person designated by the foreign company domiciled in Italy and in charge of sending and receiving the deeds and documents.

– Data of the contact person appointed by the foreign company, who as a representative maintains relations with the social partners concerned.

– Number of the authorization to carry out the activity.

Blue Card: What is it?

The EU Blue Card is a specific type of residence permit that was introduced by
Legislative Decree No. 100 of 28 June 2012
and is issued by the Police Headquarters to highly qualified workers from countries that do not belong to the European Union.

The work of the non-European citizen must be regulated by a work residence contract that must have been communicated to the police station.

The duration of validity of the Blue Card differs depending on the singular employment relationship.

If the employment relationship is for a fixed term, the blue card has a duration of two years, if the employment relationship is for a fixed term, the residence permit has a duration of three months longer than the expiry of the employment relationship.

In order to obtain the Blue Card, the non-European citizen must carry out, as a self-employed person, work for another natural or legal person, otherwise who has an employment relationship as an employee. The application for authorization must be submitted by the employer to the prefecture.

Highly qualified work must be certified by suitable educational qualifications and certificates of professional qualification that have been issued by the non-EU citizen’s country of origin.

The blue card can be issued to: foreigners residing in a non-EU country; working citizens who reside on a regular basis in Italy; citizens legally residing in another EU country; citizens who are in possession of the Blue Card issued by another Member State of the European Union.

Highly Skilled Workers: Who Are They?

Highly qualified managers and subordinate or self-employed workers are workers who have obtained recognition for high professional and sector-specific qualification through the certification of their work, which must be specialized in the sector continuously for at least six months.

Executives or highly qualified personnel of companies that have Italian branches, representative offices of foreign companies.

InfoVisti assists managers or staff of foreign companies with a representative office in Italy in their temporary relocation. The staff may have been hired either on a self-employed or subordinate employment contract.

The temporary posting must not exceed five years. Its duration is defined according to the company’s needs and may be subject to extensions.

According to the Decree of the President of the Republic of 31 August 1999 to the Consolidated Law on Immigration, at the end of the transfer it is possible to hire staff on a fixed-term or permanent basis in Italy.
