Leaving and re-entering Italy while waiting for the renewal of the visa (Permesso di Soggiorno) – The old rules will become effective from the first of April.
The transitory rules established by the Ministerial Memorandum from the 12 December 2007 will expire the 31 of March 2008.
Once again, facilitations to leave and re-enter Italy for visa holders waiting for renewal (those who hold only the receipt testifying that the application for the renewal of the visa has been submitted), are un-understandably destined to expire.

PDS renewals: 65% of all applications submitted through the Post Office system is incorrect or incomplete
To that, waiting times for the electronic PDS and for the appointments at the “Questura” need to be added
In the past few days, there has been a meeting for all officers (patronati, associations, communes questura) at the Padua Prefettura, in order to update them about the situation of the PDS processing.
It is fair to say that most officers are not satisfied with the service that Poste Italiane is providing the customers and the Questuras as well.
The most discouraging fact is that 65% of all applications submitted so far through the postal system is incomplete or incorrect. Maybe because (...)

This communication reached Italian, EU and non-EU citizens: but benefits are reserved only to Italians!
With the letter in their hands many went to post (...)
