Permesso di Soggiorno
The HowToItaly blog has moved to www.howtoitaly.typepad.com.
It's updated daily so why not come along and join the party?
A presto

One of the reforms to come out of Romano Prodi's goverment is that you no longer need to go to the Questura request or renew your Permesso di Soggiorno.
In a bid to streamline the process that is irritating at best and unbearably traumatic at worst, the Posta has now taken over the handling of most Permessi and cut the number of documents you need to produce.
Before, a non-EU citizen had to show documentation of employment and a rental agreement or proof of home ownership. But now self-certification is now accepted though.
The forms you need to fill in come in a special packet called Il Kit and is available from all 14,000 post offices in Italy. However, only 5,332 of those have a Sportello Amico, authorising them to process your request.
