Income for Residence Permit in Italy: Article by Lawyer Francesco Lombardini (Russian Translation)
Russian translation of the article by Italian lawyer Francesco Lombardini on income requirements for obtaining and renewing permesso di soggiorno. Covers legal basis, case law, and practical advice.
About this document
A Russian translation of an article by Italian lawyer Francesco Lombardini on income requirements for obtaining and renewing a permesso di soggiorno. The author examines the legal basis (art. 5 par. 5 of the Testo Unico Immigrazione), the common questura benchmark - assegno sociale plus 50% per family member - and shows its limits: for lavoro subordinato no minimum income is set by law, for lavoro autonomo the threshold is the healthcare cost exemption minimum, and for humanitarian grounds no income is required at all. The core value is the case law (TAR and Council of State decisions) holding that insufficient income cannot be the sole ground for refusal, plus the list of countable sources: salary, benefits, savings, delayed payments. Useful for those facing a refusal or preparing a rinnovo with unstable income.

How to use it

Why you need it
Clarification of legal norms regarding income for foreigners facing denial of residence permit renewal due to "insufficient income". Useful for appealing questura decisions.
