Many citizens of Ukraine found refuge in Italy with the beginning of a full-scale war. A certain percentage have already found work there and are looking for ways to stay in the country after the end of hostilities.

Currently, there are several options to stay in Italy after the end of the war in Ukraine. We share 9 ways to get a permanent residence permit.

Grounds for obtaining a residence permit in Italy

1. Marriage or family restoration. This is one of the most popular ways to legally immigrate to the country. It is interesting that certain Italian communes issue a family residence permit not only for officially registered spouses, but also for cohabitants.

2. Studying at a higher educational institution. It is easy to get a student visa for young people under 30 years old. In Italian universities, you can study in Italian or English.

How to get?

• Choose a university;

• Take entrance exams;

• Legalize/certify with an apostille a certificate or diploma of education.

Delivery period: up to 4 months.

Employment eligibility: Students are eligible to work 20 hours per week and are given a year to find permanent employment after graduation.

3. Type D "Residenza elettiva" visa. To receive it, it is necessary to have a passive income of 31,000 euros for each family member per year. You also need to buy real estate in Italy or rent housing for at least a year.

Pay attention! An internship in an Italian company also gives the right to receive a residence permit.

7. Startup visa, which is issued to those who opened an innovative enterprise.

8. Stay in the country under the status of temporary protection or ask for political asylum.
