About this document
The official instruction of the Italian Ministry of the Interior for the Mod. 209 forms (Modulo 1 and Modulo 2) - the forms filled in when applying for or renewing a permesso di soggiorno via the kit postale. The instruction explains every field: data must be entered exactly as in the passport, province codes come from Tabella 1, permesso reason codes from Tabella 2 (from Adozione and Attesa occupazione to Lavoro Autonomo, Studio and Residenza elettiva), country codes from Tabella 3. An important rule: Sezione 2 is filled in only after both moduli are fully completed and copies of all documents are made, otherwise the post office will not accept the application. Official contacts for checking application status and finding authorized post offices are included. A baseline reference for anyone filling in the kit on their own.
