What we deal with

Italian citizenship for foreigners

(Click the + button to read the answer)

The legal deadline for concluding the procedure is 24 months, extendable up to a maximum of 36. If your file has been stuck beyond these deadlines, you can contact a partner lawyer experienced in immigration law, who will check the status of your application and can file a reminder.
Simply log in to the web service of the Department for Civil Liberties and Immigration with the credentials you used when you started the application, and see what stage it has reached.
To obtain Italian citizenship, the time needed to check the documents submitted must pass in any case. The advantage of being assisted by a partner lawyer from the Avvocati per Stranieri network is that the documentation is submitted correctly from the start, avoiding requests for additional documents that lengthen the process.
You can file an appeal, but the competent court depends on the type of application.

If you applied for citizenship by residence, the refusal is challenged before the TAR Lazio (Regional Administrative Court of Lazio) within 60 days. If the application was by marriage, jurisdiction normally lies with the ordinary courts, unless the refusal is based on reasons of State security.

Choosing the wrong court makes the appeal inadmissible: it is advisable to have the decision examined by a partner lawyer before taking action.

Residence permit applications

(Click the + button to read the answer)

Contact Avvocati per Stranieri and we will put you in touch with a partner lawyer, who will examine your position to understand why renewal is not possible and what alternatives exist.

If you have already received a refusal, remember that the Questore’s refusal can be challenged by an appeal to the TAR within 60 days of notification, while for permits for family reasons jurisdiction lies with the ordinary courts.
Under Article 5(9) of the TUI (Consolidated Immigration Act), the residence permit must be issued, renewed or converted within 20 days of the date the application is submitted.

In practice, actual times are much longer and vary from one Questura to another. However, exceeding the legal deadline is not without consequences: it allows you to send a formal reminder to the office and, in cases of prolonged delay, to use the remedies available against administrative inaction.
For an ordinary residence permit, renewal can be refused when the requirements that justified its issue are no longer met — for example income, employment or accommodation — or when the permit was obtained fraudulently, or in the presence of convictions that the law considers an obstacle.

The situation is different for the EU long-term residence permit, which under Article 9(7) of the TUI is revoked:
• if it was obtained fraudulently
• in the event of expulsion
• when the conditions for its issue are not met or cease to be met
• in the event of absence from the territory of the European Union for 12 consecutive months
• in the event of absence from Italian territory for more than 6 years, or if a long-term residence permit is issued by another Member State

Please note: the courts have repeatedly held that revocation ordered automatically, without allowing the person to explain the reasons for the absence — illness, caring for a family member or other serious reasons — is unlawful. If you have received a notice of this kind, contact a partner lawyer immediately.
Yes, it is possible in the cases and in the manner provided by law, when the reasons on which the permit was issued change. Contact Avvocati per Stranieri and we will put you in touch with a partner lawyer to check whether conversion is allowed in your case.

Family reunification

(Click the + button to read the answer)

A foreign citizen legally residing in Italy with a permit valid for at least one year can apply for family reunification. If you need help, contact us: a partner lawyer will assist you in preparing the application and all the necessary documents.
You must meet the income requirement and the health and hygiene suitability requirement for the accommodation, and hold a valid residence permit. Do you need help? Contact Avvocati per Stranieri to submit the application with all the documents in order.
In most cases the refusal is due to failure to meet one of the required conditions: income, accommodation or incomplete documentation.

A refusal of the clearance is challenged before the Tribunal, in the section specialised in immigration matters, because in this area jurisdiction lies with the ordinary courts and not with the administrative courts. Contact a partner lawyer to have the decision examined.
Under Article 29(8) of the TUI, the deadline for the Prefecture to issue the family reunification clearance is a maximum of 90 days from the date the application was submitted. In case of delay, a partner lawyer can file a reminder.

Foreign workers’ rights

(Click the + button to read the answer)

Write to us and we will put you in touch with a partner lawyer experienced in labour law for foreigners, who will assess your position and the possible actions to obtain what you are entitled to.
You can challenge the dismissal before the Labour Court, but the deadlines are short and mandatory.

Under Article 6 of Law 604/1966, the dismissal must be challenged in writing within 60 days of receiving the notice. Within the following 180 days you must then file the claim in court or start a conciliation attempt.
If these deadlines expire, the right to challenge is lost for good.

Tell us about your situation and a partner lawyer will assess how to proceed.
Before resigning, it is advisable to assess your situation with a partner lawyer specialising in labour law: unlike dismissal, voluntary resignation means losing certain protections, and in some circumstances it can also affect the renewal of your residence permit.

Remember also that resignation must be submitted online, following the procedure provided by law: a resignation given only verbally or in writing to the employer has no effect.
You need a residence permit that allows you to work: not all permits do, and some only allow it within certain hour limits. You also need a regular employment contract and registration with the social security and insurance schemes.

To check whether your permit allows you to carry out the work you have in mind, request a consultation with a partner lawyer.
