Applicants can apply for conversion into subordinate work permits or self-employment work permits.

To apply for conversion to a work permit, it is necessary to have a job proposal from an Italian company. On the other hand, to apply for conversion into self-employment permit, it is necessary to submit documentation about the work activity that is going to be carried out and the financial resources available to exercise it, that should be over the minimum threshold.

During the preliminary assessment, our consultants will advise whether you satisfy the requirements.

The application procedure is composed of several steps:

  1. Submission to the local authorities and approval
  2. Documents signature and residence permit application
  3. Biometrics
  4. Residence permit collection

Our experts will support you step by step and an English-speaking consultant will assist you during in-person appointments.

Application timeline

The application must be sent upon completion of the course of study. However, in some specific cases, it can be sent before the completion of study.

Furthermore, the application shall be sent before the expiry of the current residence permit, despite the Council of State has commented on this.

During the preliminary assessment, our experts will be able to advise which is the best period to apply in your specific case.
