In Italy, the temporary residence permit is controlled by the Polizia di Stato, who are under the tutelage of the Ministry of the Interior.
[2] A permesso can also have an unlimited duration in the case of a permit for domicile in Italy, obtainable by demonstrating that the applicant has a constant and sufficient source of income to be able to live comfortably in Italy, for example a pension or relevant real estate.
The office also issues a copy of the request, which is stamped with an indication of the date and the day on which the residence permit can be withdrawn; up to this event, the regularity of the stay is attested by the receipt of the application, which must be shown to the Questura of residence when the document is collected.
One-year or shorter permits can be issued for study, training, illness, pregnancy, unemployment, etc.
If the applicant has a criminal record, for certain crimes established by law and deemed particularly serious or related to the request of the permit itself (such as for example murders, drug or human trafficking), the permesso may not be renewed.
