As one reader recently commented, \u201cThe REAL problem isn\u2019t just getting it; it\u2019s understanding how to roll with the punches when you try to secure one in different areas. I\u2019ve gotten one in Rome, one in Bologna, one in Padua and three in the southern regions. Let me tell you: if all my kids resembled my Permesso experiences, they\u2019d look like they came from different continents. In some towns you go to the police station, some you go strictly thru the postal system, and sometimes a banker has the reins. It\u2019s pazzi!\u201d<\/p>\n
Couldn\u2019t have said it better myself\u2026<\/p>\n
My Guide for the Permesso di Soggiorno<\/h2>\n
Like most Italy bloggers, I\u2019ve covered this topic many<\/em> times before. But apparently there is still a lot of confusion as to the exact steps in the application process. So what I\u2019ve done is to compile everything<\/em><\/strong> that I know about this elusive \u201ctrophy\u201d into one, handy-to-use pdf. I’ve created an email series to go along with it that includes tips about getting around town, healthcare, language acquisition, and other helpful topics.<\/p>\n I submit for your reading pleasure, my definitive guide for the\u00a0Permesso di Soggiorno<\/em>. If you\u2019re in dire need of a Permesso<\/em>, then I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll find this a riveting yarn. If you don\u2019t need a Permesso at the moment, you can download it and save it for later. For the rest of you, it also doubles as the cure for insomnia. Go ahead, give it try\u2014I promise it works! I even fell asleep myself a few times while writing it. Download it here:<\/p>\n [one_half_first]<\/p>\n [\/one_half_first][one_half_last]\u00a0[thrive_optin color=”blue” text=”Download Now!” optin=”6382″ size=”big” layout=”vertical”][\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n This guide for the Permesso di Soggiorno<\/em> contains step-by-step instructions for filling out the form correctly. There is also a copy of the form itself (Modulo 1<\/em>)that you can download and print, as well as all the terms in translation, and some other useful resources. Then once the form is filled out, the guide explains the final steps before submitting the application package to the post office (or Questura<\/em>, but post office is better, believe it or not).<\/p>\n The only thing I didn\u2019t explain in this guide was how to open the celebratory bottle of Prosecco when you finally get your Permesso<\/em> six months later. I\u2019ll let you figure that one out for yourself.<\/p>\n Two friends of mine\u2014Steven and Linda, a married couple from the U.S.\u2014started a company called \u201cCross Pollinate<\/a>\u201d back in 2000. They\u2019ve done a lot of legwork in the years since, checking out unique apartments all across the city, and making them available for rent via their website. And they only<\/em> work with places they feel that they can truly recommend. In other words, they\u2019ve screened the places so that you don\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n Their site has an easy to use search engine, as well as an interactive map. You can filter your search by price, features, and travel dates, or use the map to search by geographic area.<\/p>\n![\"permesso](\"https:\/\/rickzullo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/aweber_header.jpg\")
