Who must submit the housing suitability certificate

Case assessment

During the consultation, our experts will advise whether you are required to submit a housing suitability certificate.

The criteria assessed during the consultation will include:

  • Your nationality and the type of immigration process
  • Your family composition
  • The Italian stay permit you are applying for
  • The type of accommodation in Italy

In fact, the housing suitability certificate must be submitted only in certain cases.

When to start the application

Timeline

The application is made of the following steps:

  1. Documents collection
  2. Delivery of the necessary documents to the competent office
  3. Protocolling by the competent office with release of the appropriate receipt
  4. Issuance of the housing suitability certificate.

The timeline varies according to the specific Municipality and the complexity of the case. However, although the issuance of the final certificate may take up to several months, the application receipt is normally sufficient to properly process the immigration paperwork.

F.A.Q. about the service

If the residence permit applicant is staying at a serviced accommodation (i.e. hotel or serviced apartment), the certificate can be replaced by a confirmation of the hotel reservation.
The housing suitability certificate is usually needed for the signature of the residence contract, also in cases of extra quota permits, such as the blue card, the intracompany transfer visa and other extra quota permits.
