The possibility of converting a special protection permit (il permesso di soggiorno per protezione speciale) into a work permit (permesso di soggiorno per lavoro).
Very frequent questions today arise from people who have a special protection permit (il permesso di soggiorno per protezione speciale), which was issued in accordance with art.19 (art.19 del Testo Unico Immigrazione (TUI), regarding the possibility of its conversion into work permesso (Permesso di soggiorno per lavoro)?
So, let’s take a closer look: the Supreme Council of Italy dated May 5, 2023 No. 50/2023 finally approved the changes to Decree No. 20 dated March 10, 2023 (decreto Cutro).
The new law changed certain articles of Law 20/2023, namely:
So, according to the amendments No. 50/2023, from now on the request for this type of permit is regulated by Article
32 of Legislative Decree No. 25/2008.
But in some cases, previous rules are applied, let’s consider which
ones:
● who submitted a request before May 5, 2023;
● who has a “striscetta” according to protezione speciale art.19;
● who has an appointment under protezione speciale art.19;
● who already has permesso protezione speciale art.19.
If you have at least one of these conditions, your permit will be converted into a permesso per
motivi di lavoro , or upon its expiration, you have the right to extend it one more time for 1 year.
In order to convert a special protection permit (permesso di soggiorno per protezione
speciale) into a work permit (permesso di soggiorno per lavoro), it is necessary to have a work
contract (contratto di lavoro subordinato) or to have an open own business (to be a private
entrepreneur) with a certificate of income tax payer cost (partita IVA) for
permesso di soggiorno per lavoro autonomo.
Let’s take a closer look at the documents that must be submitted for conversion to a work
permit in the presence of a work contract (contratto di lavoro subordinato).
Necessary documents:
If you have your own business in Italy (are a private entrepreneur) with a VAT certificate (partita IVA) , you need to provide the following documents for conversion to a work permit (permesso di soggiorno per lavoro autonomo), secondo l’art.5 comma 3- quarter del d.lgs.286/98 possono soggiornare nel territorio dello Stato gli stranieri muniti di permesso di soggiorno per lavoro autonomo, namely:
Pay attention! It is important!!
In accordance with the issued regulatory document No. 400/B/2023 dated
01.06.2023 (Circolare del Ministero dell’Interno n. 400/B/2023 del 1 giugno 2023)
> The provisions of Law 20/2023 remain unchanged, for requests submitted before 05.05 .2023.
> It is noted that permits issued in accordance with Article 19 paragraph 1.2 (special protection) can be renewed only for 1 year or converted into work permits if required by law.
We draw your attention to the fact that there is already positive judicial practice regarding the legality of conversion (permesso protezione speciale) into a work permit (Permesso di soggiorno per lavoro)!!!!
Therefore, the District Administrative Court (TAR – Tribunale Amministrativo regionale) reminds that on the basis of the special transitional provision specified in Article 7 of Legislative Decree No. 20/2023, and in particular paragraph 3, which regarding the permits for special protection valid on the date of recruitment entered into force by legislative decree (May 6, 2023), explicitly preserves “the right to convert a residence permit into a residence permit for the purpose of work, if the requirements of the law are met.”
There are already judicial practices, for example, one of them is in Lombardy (Decision No. 45 of January 18,
2024), which were issued in favor of a person who has the right to convert a special protection permit (permesso protezione speciale) into a work permit (Permesso di soggiorno per lavoro) )
