Why applying for the long-term permit
Advantages and rights
Long-term residence permit holders receive a specific legal status, which provides them with additional rights compared to those granted to non-EU citizens holding standard residence permits.
For instance, they can engage in almost any type of work activities, without having to sign the stay contract. Furthermore, they can participate in public recruitment competitions and benefit from social assistance and social security benefits. Moreover, they can avail of fast-track immigration routes if they decide to move within Europe.
Finally, the long-term residence permit’s validity is of ten years, which means not having to update the permit every two years, without the risk of suffering travel restrictions during each renewal process.

F.A.Q. about the service
How long is the permit valid for?
Once obtained, the long-term status is permanent. However, the permit itself must be updated every ten years, in line with other Italian identification documents.
Which residence permits cannot be converted into the long-term permit?
The long-term permit is not issued to foreigners staying in Italy on student permits or short-term residence permits. However, the period of stay on a student permit counts in the calculation of the five years of residence required.
