How many years to get PR in Italy?

Published in Immigration 1 min read

You can apply for permanent residency in Italy after living there legally for five years.

This five-year period starts from the date your first residence permit was issued. It includes time spent working, studying, or being self-employed in Italy. However, if you leave the country for extended periods, you may need to start the five-year count again.

To become eligible for permanent residency, you must meet other requirements, such as:

  • Maintaining a clean criminal record.
  • Having sufficient financial resources.
  • Possessing adequate healthcare insurance.
  • Having accommodation in Italy.
  • Being able to integrate into Italian society.

Once you meet these criteria, you can apply for a Permesso di soggiorno permanente.
