Do family matters residence papers allow working?

Family matters residence papers (released on family rejoining basis) immediately allow to work, self-employed wok as well. Consolidated act art. 6 paragraph 1 on immigration states: “Subordinated work residence permits, self.-employed work ones and family matters residence papers can be used for all allowed activities. Student visas can be turned, before its expiry date, into a work residence permit within quota as stated in the rules of enforcement of laws, art. 3 paragraph 4. Reqisites stated in art. 26 need to be fulfilled”.

Art. 14 of the rules of enforcement of laws (D.P.R. n. 394 31/08/89) provides for that subordinated work residence permits, self.-employed work ones and family matters residence papers can be used to for others allowed activities even without having to convert documents for the time they are valid.
It is therefore clear that a perso holding family matters residence papers can immediately start working until it expires. Since the person doesn’t need to await for papers to be turned into other ones, this person start working whenver he/she wants to.

What is to subsequently happen?
When family matters residence papers expires and the holder is regularly working, paper are renewed as ubordinated or self-employed ones. This is stated in art. 14 paragraph 3 where it is said that when renewal comes new papers are released on basis of what he person is actually doing at the time.

We therefore hold the chance of having resience papers turned into the proper one at the time of papers expiry date.
An example: a person reaches Italy on family rejoining basis, and this person immediately starts working. When family matters residence permit expires, he/she will have a work residence permit released. In case this person then loses his/her job family matters one will be newly released. Only if this person is still living with his/her family.
This is what rules and istructions state, unfortunatly when going to police headquarters things become more and more difficult.
